Property Description

Follow the newly laid stone tile walkway at the front entry, step through the front door that was replaced in 2018, and into a bright, inviting living room that instantly feels like home—warm and delightfully welcoming. This 2-bedroom plus den, 2 bathroom residence has been lovingly maintained, thoughtfully improved, and designed for a lifestyle that’s equal parts relaxed, creative, and effortlessly Florida. The kitchen has been refreshed with beautifully redone cabinetry finished with dove-tail drawers and modern conveniences, including a reverse osmosis drinking water system, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a solar tube that fills the heart of the home with soft natural light. A pass-through to the family room keeps everything connected—perfect for entertaining, hosting, or simply staying part of the conversation while you cook. And here’s a rare bonus for Anchorage: indoor laundry—a feature you simply don’t find often in this community. But the real magic happens out back… This backyard is designed for living with a 6’ vinyl privacy fence. Surrounded by lush landscaping, it’s a peaceful escape complete with a butterfly-friendly garden, space to plant and potter, a rain barrel for collecting water, and a dedicated fenced dog run right off the screened door—because yes, the good life includes the pups too. Unwind in the large screened lanai, wrapped in greenery that makes it feel like your own hidden courtyard—and accessed through sliders from the family room, creating that easy indoor-outdoor flow buyers crave. And just beyond? A screened she-shed—the ultimate flex space for a studio, reading nook, craft lounge, or your own private “I’m-not-answering-texts-right-now” retreat. Inside, you’ll love the flexibility and flow of the layout: a third room off the kitchen (perfect for a den, hobby room, office, extra guest room, or creative space) with sliders leading to an open-air patio, plus a comfortable family room that opens directly to the screened lanai—bringing Florida living to life. When it’s time to recharge, the primary suite is a fantastic size, offering a private en-suite bath with a walk-in shower—clean, bright, and ready to enjoy today, with plenty of room to personalize tomorrow. Major upgrades include a barrel tile roof (2017), impact-rated windows, two impact-rated sliding glass doors, leaf guards on gutters, electric panel (2023), and the kind of thoughtful touches that make buyers feel confident the moment they walk in. Even better: the yard’s irrigation runs on a well, keeping your garden lush without the city-water guilt. And the cherry on top? This home is conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, Walgreens, Publix, Target, and Walmart Grocery, plus outdoor favorites like John Chesnut Sr. Park. You’ll also enjoy easy access to the beaches and multiple charming downtown areas nearby—each one filled with local events, festivals, and the kind of small-town Florida charm people move here for. This isn’t just a house—it’s a lifestyle. And it’s one you’re going to want to see before someone else does.
