Welcome to Eastport in the charming Hamlet of Little River where living is easy, safe, carefree and oh so convenient! The Garden Homes at Eastport seem compact, but LIVE BIG! These houses are particularly desirable as they combine the best of a spacious detached-home-residence with the minimal-maintenance-lifestyle of a condo. Plus, low HOA fees include exterior yard maintenance, and the yard is on a sprinkler system. Eastport has ease of location as well to shopping, the finest and fun restaurants, recreation, beaches, the Little River Waterfront and major roads and highways. This lovely ICW community itself also features the signature Valley at Eastport Golf Course, with its own clubhouse & grill, and owners' pool. This Garden Home is only steps from the pool & amenity center and enjoys front views of the 18th green, putting & chipping areas and clubhouse. Yet it is situated on a very private wooded lot that adjoins a secluded wetlands enclave with pond view, providing a pretty backyard setting from its well-enjoyed Carolina room and bricked patio, accessed from both the living room and master bedroom. This peaceful respite which invites quiet enjoyment of its natural surroundings can never be developed. There is a formal front entry foyer with entry closet that leads to the guest bath and the two guest bedrooms in a desirable split-bedroom floor plan. These bedrooms are roomy with abundant closet space, one with a built-in desk and double closet to create a study or small office. It is unusual to find a double-car garage in a beach house. This garage provides practical family entry and popular traffic pattern into a nice laundry room with more double closets for storage and a window then to the kitchen with both a big breakfast nook with window and a handy breakfast bar. There are pull-down steps in the garage to a floored attic. Lots of maple cabinets add warmth, style and storage to this wonderful kitchen, and a large in-kitchen pantry provides more, seemingly limitless storage. New appliances include the refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal and dryer. Ceramic tile is in the entries, laundry, kitchen, both baths and Carolina room. The kitchen looks out on the expansive main floor from the dining/living/Carolina room to the backyard garden. A vaulted living room ceiling with sky lights and cheery windows in all rooms except the guest bath wash the entire home in natural light throughout, and complimentary window treatments are upgraded wooden blinds with decorative valences. Pleasing colors define the comfortable beach feel of this immaculate and beautiful Garden Home, only lightly used as a second home/vacation property. The dining room easily accommodates six. The large living room is the heart of the house, to gather, entertain or simply relax. Maple cabinets are repeated with a stunning living room wall of built-ins. Off the living room is the great master suite with decorative tray ceiling, walk-in closet, tranquil views and en suite with garden tub, glass-tile window, separate shower, privacy water closet and vanity. There are about 2,300 square feet under roof and 1,650 heated square feet of perfectly designed casual living space. The opportunity to buy a unique Eastport Garden Home is truly rare. And, although it may appear compact from the outside, IT LIVES BIG! See it today.
