Situated in the center of the Hawthorne Park community, this home provides a gracious reminder of true southern living. Lush, green grass and tropical landscaping welcomes you. The paver drive and walkway, double front door entry and inside, the 12ft ceilings pull you into its charms. The water views begin just inside the entry and include the dining room sliders, aquarium window in cafe area, owner's suite and great room! The over-sized kitchen island includes the electric stove top and offers plenty of seating room. The kitchen offers a double oven, large pantry closet and tons of extra storage. Speaking of storage, not to be missed is the butler pantry in the laundry room. The Great room has over-sized sliders leading to the pool/spa/lanai and a propane gas fireplace. (do ask about the buried propane tank out front). There are four split bedrooms (a 2nd owner's suite is currently used as an office/family room) and three full baths (one also serves a pool bath) providing privacy for all. The many small but beautifully placed niches continue the gracious living theme. The solar heated pool and raised hot tub finish out the over-sized screened area. Complete new roof is only TWO YEARS OLD! Just down the street from Geraldson's farm market and the always delightful Robinson Preserve, this home offers an amazing sense of tranquility yet is less than 5 miles to the glorious beaches of Anna Maria Island and a myriad of shopping and dining options.
Please note that the over-sized two car garage with 12 ft ceilings has been the owner's wood turning workshop for many years. His work is displayed throughout the home.
