About this home
MOTIVATED SELLERS! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on a spacious 0.72-acre lot with no HOA in the desirable Waterwood subdivision. A long, welcoming front porch invites you inside to a bright split floor plan featuring vaulted ceilings, an open living area with a fireplace, and a separate dining room. The kitchen provides ample cabinet storage along with a cozy breakfast nook. Outdoor living shines with a large back patio, vinyl-fenced backyard, and a screened porch off the primary bedroom—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The home is connected to a separate well for irrigation, keeping lawn care easy and utility costs low. Bonus space alert! The property features a 2-car garage, with one side currently enclosed and under A/C, being used as a flexible 4th bedroom. This area is not counted in the heated square footage but offers great versatility and can be converted back to a full 2-car garage if desired. There's plenty of parking with an oversized circular driveway. Conveniently located near the Polk Parkway, Fort Fraser Trail, schools, shopping, and a nearby public boat ramp.
