Summary:
Bufflehead 3
The Space:
This spacious, well-appointed Vanderhorst Plantation home has a sunroom, deck, and a new private pool that can be heated (if requested one week in advance and for an additional fee), that allows you to enjoy the outdoors and take in the views of the lagoon behind the house. This home has hardwood floors, granite counters, and painted cabinets within an upscale full kitchen on the first floor. There is an extra refrigerator in the office area, the perfect place to store cold drinks for the warm weather! The home has recently been renovated with a new couch, chairs, sunroom furniture, and grill and is just a short walk or bike ride (about 700 yards) to the beach, which is virtually around the corner.
When you enter the home and take the staircase on your left to the second story, you'll find four bedrooms. Taking two immediate lefts at the top of the stairs will bring you to a bedroom with a flatscreen TV. From there, just down a short hall is a bedroom with a flatscreen TV and an en suite bathroom with a standalone shower with a removable showerhead. Moving past the staircase and a small sitting room, the bedroom on your left has a flatscreen TV. Across the hall is another bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a shower/ tub combination. The primary bedroom, located on the main level just past the foyer is a serene retreat, featuring access to a private furnished deck, walk-in closet, and renovated en suite bathroom. The newly renovated bathroom has a bright inviting atmosphere and includes dual sinks with ample counter space, a freestanding tub for ultimate relaxation, and a spacious walk-in shower offering the perfect blend of comfort and luxury.
