PALM HARBOR POOL HOME! This lovely Mark Marconi model home is in the well-regarded gated community of Manning Oaks. Manning Oaks is a quiet, friendly community of luxurious single-family homes. Spacious floor plan features 3,256 square feet with 4-bedrooms 3-baths with plantation shutters, zero carpeting, and focused around a lovely pool.
In the west wing you’ll find the large primary bedroom with ensuite bath highlighted by a soaking tub, separate custom shower, dual sinks, and a huge walk-in closet. This bedroom opens onto the lanai and pool. Also in the west wing is a custom home office with beautiful built-in bookcases, file drawers, and wood accented walls.
Just like the primary bedroom, the living room, family room, and kitchen all open on to the lanai and pool. The saltwater swimming pool features a tranquil rock-wall waterfall, a double height screened enclosure, and lots of privacy. Just outside the pool enclosure is a Weber natural-gas barbecue grill (no need for propane tanks).
The living room features a gas fireplace and is open to the dining room with its ceiling fan and large windows. A dry bar/butler’s pantry with mini-frig connects the dining room to the kitchen.
The kitchen and family room share an open layout with a breakfast bar and many windows. The kitchen has granite countertops, glass-tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances including a five-burner gas cooktop, convention-bake microwave, and a double wall oven all from the GE Profile line. The dishwasher is an Asko, a well-regarded Swedish brand, and the refrigerator-over-drawer-freezer is a SubZero. The kitchen also has a sizable step-in pantry. The family room is ample with an up-lit tray ceiling – perfect for watching movies.
A hallway with big built-in shelves and two linen closets connects the family room to the east wing. Here you’ll find a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and a pool/guest bath. The other two large bedrooms are tucked-away and share a bath with a soothing tile shower.
The hallway continues, past a passage to the kitchen, along to the laundry room equipped with Whirlpool front-load washer and dryer, linen closet, laundry sink, built-in ironing board, countertop space, and storage cabinets. The hallway ends at the door to garage.
The garage has 3 stalls each with an electric door operator. The garage hosts a water-filtration and water-softening system that connects the house to the county water supply. Water heating is via a gas-fired tank. Also located in the garage, and included in the sale, is a GE 21-cubic-foot garage-ready upright freezer. In this area are twin Trane heat-pump systems newly installed in 2019 that independently provide the east and west wings with heating and cooling.
Built on a 0.28-acre lot, shaded by several magnificent oak trees. The property also has numerous shrubs and flowering plants as well as a raised bed garden. A six-zone Rainbird irrigation system keeps everything properly watered. The rear of the lot is fully fenced and has in ground low-voltage lighting.
