Former country music singer Sherry Borchert bought her three-bedroom house in Pointe West’s South Village as a vacation getaway where she could enjoy spending time with friends who live nearby.
Borchert had a career in country music performing on shows like Hee Haw and said she even babysat Patsy Cline’s children backstage in the tightknit country community. That was a while ago, but her labors gave her the opportunity to own several other homes in different parts of the country and to enjoy traveling and spending special times with friends and family.
Pointe West beckoned with an 18-hole championship golf course which is included in the Palmer Advantage, a members-only network of world-class golf courses. Borchert also appreciated the elegant country club, which offers a stunning dining room manned by Executive Chef John Corso and several smaller ante-rooms perfect for wedding parties or games like Mahjong and bridge. Each section of Pointe West also has its own pool, which in South village is close to Borchert’s single-family home.
The community also offers carefree living with lawn care and common areas covered by the low quarterly HOA fee of only $455. This works well for homeowners who want to live here seasonally or fulltime resident families who like to stay on the go and not worry about scheduling lawn and pool appointments.
Borchert had her home designed to reflect her vivacious personality and creative flair with artistic details throughout. She loves entertaining and this home fits the bill perfectly. Occupants may settle on the screened back porch; at the four-seat kitchen counter; around the dining table in the breakfast nook; in the formal dining and living rooms or in the more casual family room that is open to the kitchen.
Norris & Company agent Chip Landers said the home’s $284,900 listing price is on point as a very good value, especially considering the house offers more than 2,300 square feet under air.
“It is hard to find a three-bedroom plus den single-story home in Pointe West now and they really have good resale values too,” said Landers. “It is a great price considering this house’s many custom amenities and spaciousness.”
Landers pointed out the value and convenience of living in a natural gas community which is not only economical but offers peace of mind in any circumstance when the power might fail. Natural gas is a favorite among cooks and this home’s spacious kitchen is definitely set up for someone who likes to spend time playing chef. Plenty of granite counters offer a great area for preparing hors d’oeuvres as guests sit at the counter keeping up the discourse and a large island also adds convenient storage space. The kitchen and breakfast nook is open to the family room, allowing the cook to never miss a minute of a favorite show on television while chopping and sautéing.
If guests will be spending the night, the split floor plan gives both sides of the house a lot of privacy. Homeowners with children will especially love that kids have their own separate space while still being within earshot.
The master bedroom is to the left of the formal living and dining rooms and is a luxurious haven with volume ceilings, a large walk-in closet, master bath with two vanities, a garden tub and separate walk-in shower. The den is also located near the master bedroom and would be a convenient office space or quiet sitting room.
The other three bedrooms are also spacious and are conveniently located near the kitchen, family room and outdoor screened porch so everyone can enjoy being able to grab a cup of coffee or snack and eat outside.
Pointe West is a nice family neighborhood that is more kid-friendly than many people realize. The streets are safe, neighbors keep an eye on each other and there is a lot of green space to throw around a football or play fetch with the family dog. The community makes a point of organizing special events for residents to enjoy on the property. West Vero has also become a convenient place, close to everything a family could ask for, including shops, dining, a 24-screen AMC Movie Theater, many services. At the same time, it is only 15 minutes from the barrier island beaches.
“It has gotten so convenient with everything you need in that area that some people never even have to leave west Vero unless they want to go to the beach,” said Landers.
