Charming 3-bedroom 2-bath tucked away in Mary Esther, ideally located for easy access to Hurlburt Field and not much farther from Eglin AFB. Spectacularly renovated kitchen gives you a head-start to realizing your personal vision of home sweet home. The spacious great room with a vintage terrazzo floor will accommodate both living and dining areas. Newer french doors open to the covered back patio for effortless entertaining. Recently installed systems include a 2019 HVAC and a 2017 Rinnai gas tankless water heater - you'll never run out! We'll start in the incredible kitchen, a gourmet's delight, where beautiful quartz counters provide plenty of working space and a breakfast bar. A contemporary tile backsplash (keep reading...) ...decorates all walls, even extending to the floor on one side. The stainless refrigerator, gas stove/oven and microwave are all Samsung, and the high-tech, two drawer dishwasher is a Fisher & Paykel. So many special features! Pull-down spice rack, built-in wine rack, under-cabinet stemware rack, pull-out cubbies and drawers to organize your small items, and even a secret toe-kick storage drawer below the microwave. Every inch of potential storage space is designed for easy use. Back to the expansive great room, on entering the house the first thing you'll see is a modern fan to light up and cool off the living area, where there is more than enough space to arrange couches and chairs according to your whim. Next you'll notice the beautiful chandelier gracing the far corner, ideal for a dining area. The great room has Spanish lace ceilings. Another admiring trip through the kitchen leads you to a nook perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, next to the large pantry with lots of shelving. Continue on into a huge laundry room with cabinets and counters on one side, and hookups for a washer and dryer on the other. The door from the garage is right there, just a short trip to carry groceries into the kitchen. A split floor plan arranges the primary bedroom and bath to one side of the great room, and the two bedrooms and second full bath on the other. The baths feature newer cabinets and mirrors, granite vanities, and a waterfall faucet in the hall bath. The terrazzo flooring extends through all bedrooms, with tile flooring in the baths. Out the french doors into the backyard, enjoy your morning coffee or an evening aperitif on the covered patio. Two sheds provide lots of outdoor storage and working space, don't miss the fun weathervane on the larger shed! Create your own backyard oasis with the fire pit in the center, and a fig tree just now setting fruit. So many possibilities! Besides being close to the bases, it's easy to get your boating or beach life going! Outside next to the garage is a paved area suitable for kayaks, a canoe, paddle boards or other water toys. Just minutes east on Highway 98 are two boat ramps, a small one at Misty Water Pier, and a larger one at Liza Jackson Park. Then an additional short drive takes you to Okaloosa Island with no fewer than 7 public beach access points, for a fun and relaxing day on the Gulf's gorgeous white sand beaches. Don't miss this one, schedule your showing today!
