This traditional-styled custom home is a traffic-stopping beauty. Built for formal entertaining, yet perfect for raising a family, this house has every element of old-school Southern charm under a brand NEW ROOF! Situated on a double lot in Pace’s desirable Woodbine Springs Plantation, this wonderful home is shaded by over an acre of mature oak trees and surrounded by abundant azaleas. A 10-foot wide wrap-around porch allows you to enjoy the outdoors all summer long, but if you do get hot, you can cool off in the 30,000 gallon swimming pool. This two-story home opens to a wide foyer, has a huge formal living room and a gracious formal dining room. The heart of the home is an efficiently laid-out eat-in kitchen which adjoins a cozy Family Room and also opens onto a large deck overlooking the enormous backyard. An oversized laundry room holds an additional pantry cabinet and a deep sink. Two fireplaces balance the curbside appeal of the house. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are located together so that parents, enjoying their large Master Suite, are never too far away from small children. Both upstairs bathrooms were recently remodeled with tiled floors and showers and the downstairs offers a custom-made, old-fashioned Water Closet. Added benefits are the absolutely enormous walk-out attic with built in shelving, plus a spray-foam insulated, air-conditioned Bonus Room for Mom’s Crafts or Kids’ Play Room. The house also boasts an oversized garage with hurricane-reinforced garage door and built in storage shelves, as well as an expanded section for a Workshop or Play area. The house has been re-wired for a whole house Generator, with Circuit Breaker panels organized to quickly reduce load. In the back yard, a large patio overlooks the in-ground pool as well as the mature fruit trees and a built-in fire pit. There’s even an outdoor hot water shower for rinsing off after swimming or for bathing your canine kids. Off the Living Room, a small screened porch also overlooks the shaded yard and the large fenced-in Raised-Bed garden, which needs some TLC. All kitchen appliances work, but the owners offer a $800 allowance toward the purchase of a refrigerator. Each floor has its own HVAC (a Bryant and a Trane) with independently programmable thermostats so you can control the temperatures in the areas you are using when you are using them. The Central Vacuum Cleaner means there’s no carrying a heavy vacuum cleaner up and down stairs and all the dust and allergens are collected outside the home. A four-zone timed sprinkler system run off well-water to keep your yard green and your water bill low. Already wired for a Burglar Alarm, additional security is simply a matter of activating a service. The pool operates on an energy efficient variable speed pump and also has a heat exchanger, in need of minor repair, to extend the swimming season. I love all the shade which keeps the front and back yards feeling 15 degrees cooler than the outside temps. Even in the middle of summer, my kids could play outside…and did, along with many other neighborhood children. The swimming pool remains crisp and refreshing throughout the summer, rather than becoming swampy, bath-water warm and the whole house electrical bills are lower than expected. I love the beautiful neighborhood with it’s 52-acre lake, parks and playgrounds and socially-active HOA. I love the friendly people and the relaxed atmosphere.
