A unique classic ranch built in 1957 with concrete block and cedar shingles. 1708 SF under air + 915 under roof = 2623 total sf. The cathedral ceiling and terrazzo floor keeps the house cool year round and the wood burning fireplace makes it cozy. The terrazzo floor extends to the screened patio. The great room has a twelve-foot sliding glass door to the west and two - eight foot sliding glass doors to the north with windows peaking at the top of the cathedral ceiling. For the work-at-home individual it offers a spacious office with built in desks, bookcases and large windows for ample light. The updated kitchen is open to the dining/living area with a floor-to-ceiling pantry. The master bedroom with sitting area has lots of windows, tile flooring, and updated bathroom. (See supplemental narrative) The separate workshop is great for organizing tools while the laundry room has several large shelves for beach toys and holiday decorations. For convenience there is a half bath in the laundry room and an outside shower. More storage is found in the back yard outbuilding hidden from view by the foliage. The back yard is a tropical paradise with an open, paved deck great for grilling or sitting out in the evening to watch the wildlife. One of the many cool features of this house is the drive-through garage. Never get caught in the rain coming home. There is 1708 sq ft of living area under air and the garage, utility rooms, screened porch, and open porch comprise an additional 915 sq ft under cover.
