Whether you have a family and are looking to enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle or want a house to share with friends, this week’s featured property makes it easy to relax in your own space or enjoy entertaining together. Another plus: This attractive home is located in close proximity to shopping, dining and beaches.
Waterford Lakes is centrally located off 12th Street and is less than 10 minutes from beaches and four blocks away from shopping and dining. The neighbors are friendly and many stroll and jog the mile-long loop within the neighborhood, passing by manicured yards which the HOA monitors so the community is well-kept and tidy.
The subdivision allows for renters with certain guidelines which benefits everyone in the community. So if you are seeking a great income property this might be just what you have been looking for in Vero. The owners, John and Jean Bracken, used it for that purpose but only rented to meticulous leaseholders who cared for the home as if it were their own. The house has many upgrades, including beautiful wood floors, chair rails and crown moldings, and a designer kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Mexican tile in the kitchen and bathrooms gives the home a little something extra as well as being another feature for easy maintenance.
For those who moved to the Sunshine State to enjoy a year-round outdoor lifestyle, this home takes advantage of its open air spaces with places to sit and enjoy the breezes and sunshine. Families will love the large backyard, which includes a screened patio and a fenced yard as well as a nice children’s play set which looks out onto trees, shrubs and a common grassy area.
There is also a large, welcoming, covered front porch with a picket railing – very all-American – that is perfect for summer evening, a great place to curl up with a book. Only a few homes in the neighborhood have this appealing feature.
Another nice feature of the property is its location on a deep corner lot set back from the road with a community-maintained area located beyond the fenced yard. It’s perfect for privacy as well as throwing around a football or letting the kids run and play.
The front door opens into a small entry foyer that leads to a formal living area and dining room that flows into a larger family area. This space is open to the eat-in kitchen, which offers a pantry, lots of counter space and that also offers an eat-in kitchen and counter space and access to the two-car garage. Volume ceilings add to the home’s feeling of spaciousness as well as the views of the large screened patio and back yard.
The wood floors in the living room and detailed chair rails and crown molding in some of the rooms make the home feel especially tasteful and polished. Residents of the master bedroom enjoy an en suite bath with a soaking tub, separate shower and a double-sink with lighted vanity.
Two of the bedrooms are large enough for a pair of double beds with the fourth bedroom the right size for a nursery, office or guest bedroom. The guest bedrooms share an updated bathroom.
Waterford Lakes has a large heated pool with a shower and bathrooms, which has a lovely view of the lake. Access is granted with a key card to keep out non-residents and there is also a playground for the kids to enjoy as everyone cools off in the pool with friends and neighbors. Since the HOA maintains the pool, playground and common areas, the ratio of fun to work in this community is much higher on the entertainment scale.
This is a rare opportunity to view a corner lot property in Waterford Lakes, and the house is a wonderful value for only $189,900 for a four bedroom CBS, centrally-located home.
