Tucked away off the main floor hallway is a half bathroom for guests and just beyond that lies the primary bedroom suite. Spacious and serene, the primary suite features built-in bookshelves and a sitting area ideally sized for ANY USE! A lovely complement to the primary bedroom is the en suite bath with double sink vanity, jetted garden tub, over-sized walk-in shower with bench, and separate water closet. Climb the stairs to discover three bedrooms, two full baths, and the ROOM OF REQUIREMENT - a space that is ready to meet any need - whether it's an additional living space, a media room, an in-law suite, or a combination of these things, this over-sized room is up to the task! An abundance of dedicated storage spaces and over-sized closets can be found in each of the upstairs rooms. Back on the main level, step out back onto the covered porch and enjoy the dappled sunlight filtered through the graceful half-moon pergola and beyond to the brick paver fire pit, mature landscaping, open grassy area for play, and through the pines to the 7th fairway of Bluewater's Bay Course. Not to be overlooked is the incredible garage, roomy enough for two cars, a golf cart, and all of your toys! With the separate golf cart garage door at the rear, you'll never have to shuffle cars just to take the cart for a cruise around Bluewater Bay or take the stand up paddle boards to the neighborhood beach!
