Welcome to 36974 Serenity Drive, expertly designed with fine craftsmanship that includes a solid concrete & brick foundation. This 4 BD, 3.5 BA coastal oasis boasts 3,820 sq. ft. giving abundant space throughout. This exquisite single-family home in an amenity-filled community, 4 miles from the beaches, and with many premium features & finishes needs to be seen in person! This property will be an ideal fit for several types of discerning buyers. So don’t delay, see this one today. The curb appeal - the grounds have an added level of natural beauty thanks to a vibrant mix of blooms, flora & trees. There’s an enormous driveway, a 2-car garage w/ storage space, and a welcoming front porch in a charming veranda-style that wraps around to the right. The foyer reveals the beautiful wood that makes up the flooring and the staircase up to the 2nd floor. On the right is a flex room ideal for a formal dining room or office. Next, the light-filled grand openness hits you with the living room, kitchen, dining area and sunroom coming together in great fashion. They easily flow from one space to another which works well for both daily living and hosting parties. Those who love to cook and entertain will be right at home in the gorgeous, gourmet kitchen. There’s much to admire with the wood floors & the choice of beautiful quartz countertops along with a tile backsplash and center island, both in a striking blue that make a wonderful contrast against the white cabinetry & black hardware. Lastly, it has stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. The sunroom has 2 walls of windows plus a large sliding door to the outdoors. Not to be outdone, the living room has one that’s larger. Adding elegance to the living room, there’s custom cabinetry on both sides of a gas fireplace with a mantel. Other notables include crown molding, premium shutters, a convenient powder room and a utility room with washer & dryer, sink, cabinets & granite counters. The 1st floor primary suite has a large sliding door outside, and a luxury bathroom with separate vanities, garden tub, large separate shower and a massive walk-in closet. The 2nd floor has lots to reveal, and it gives you options to do what you want with the spaces here. Come up to a spacious family room with a walk-in closet and 2 regular closets. There is a 2nd floor primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and its own bathroom. It has a sliding door to a huge balcony. The 3rd bedroom is on the other side with an oversized walk-in closet, and it has a private entrance to the 3rd full bathroom plus there’s an entrance from the family room. Lastly there is a substantial 4th bedroom (bonus room) currently set up as an exercise room & den. Now let's get to the expansive backyard paradise. Here the grounds are more lush and add privacy. Being one of the largest lots in the Refuge, your neighbors are farther away. Enjoy the sights & sounds of nature while relaxing, entertaining, dining, having a coffee or cocktail, or perhaps while swimming or floating in your private, inground, heated pool! From the sunroom, you have a super-sized open deck. Take the steps down to the sidewalk to a 2nd outdoor space: a stone area for seating. From there, it’s the cherry on top - the fenced pool area and once inside you see the stunning pool and an awesome gazebo with outlets, ceiling fan & heater. You can get more shade too with a retractable awning. You’ll relish the multiple evergreens standing tall around the fence and the extensive paver patio area around the pool giving space for loungers, tables & more. The owners had a money-saving private well installed for lawncare irrigation. Amenities at the well-liked Refuge at Dirickson Creek community include a gym, playground, pickleball, volleyball, boat ramp, dock area, community center and more. Set up a showing to explore this captivating property and to see the lifestyle it offers. Remember, Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal, Own at the Beach!
