PRICE IMPROVEMENT!!!! Located on a quiet street just off Ocean Parkway in South Ocean Pines, this charming rancher is solidly constructed and is much larger than it appears. The home features a new GAF roof (2021) with gutter guards; the roof warranty is transferable to new owners. The HVAC system was replaced in 2021 with the latest Mitsubishi 4-unit wall-mounted split-pack system, with a 12-year parts, labor, and compressor warranty transferable to new owners. The system is energy efficient and has been professionally maintained under a service contract from the installer. The wood-burning fireplace provides winter warmth and a soft ambience in the living room. The fireplace is fully functional and was professionally inspected in 2021, and features a stone masonry facade extending from the hearth to the ceiling. The light-filled living room is the jewel of the house, with a vaulted cathedral ceiling, large windows on three sides, and a sliding glass door which opens to the rear deck. The kitchen is ready for your design ideas - which could include creating a totally open layout encompassing the living room, dining room, and kitchen. New dishwasher in 2021. The crawl space was professionally treated with Bora-Care and fully encapsulated in 2022 and includes a permanent dehumidifier which drains outside. The backyard is fenced in - a rarity in Ocean Pines - and is perfect for dogs. A wooden boardwalk takes you from the driveway to the backyard, which features a large storage shed for your bikes and garden equipment. The backyard is wooded with lots of shade. Major tree trimming was performed by a licensed arborist in 2020. The outdoor lighting was upgraded to LED flood lights and is very bright. The three season Florida room is screened and has indoor/outdoor carpeting, perfect for crab feasts! It features top-to-bottom retractable windows which are tinted. The driveway was refreshed in 2023 with new gravel and framed with fresh pressure-treated 6x6 timbers. Water line from street to house replaced in 2024. Decks front and back are from treated lumber. The front deck steps were replaced and a wooden boardwalk added in 2024. The front yard is open and features a lush Japanese banana tree grove which regrows annually. All carpets were recently steam cleaned. Plenty of storage in the attic, which has new pull-down stairs. This is the perfect opportunity to own a partially updated home on a spacious lot in desirable Ocean Pines. Owner lives overseas so property is being sold "as is". Professional photos coming soon!
