About this home
SAY GOODBYE TO LONG WINTERS AND SHOVELING SNOW FOR A RELAXED COASTAL LIFESTYLE WHERE ALMOST EVERY DAY IS A VACATION. Tucked within the sought-after Laurelwood 55-plus Community - where you own your land - this charming 2BR/2BA Abode carries not only wonderful features, but a truly heartwarming story. When the home first debuted as one of the neighborhood's original model homes, the current owner's late father stepped back inside after touring the property, telling his wife he had ''just one more question'' for the agent. What she didn't know was that he was quietly purchasing the home for her as a surprise. When he returned outside and shared the news, she leapt into his arms with joy, sealing the moment with a kiss of true love. That spirit of warmth and happiness still seems to linger throughout this special home. Situated on a large corner lot - the property is beautifully landscaped with lush shrubbery, lilies, climbing jasmine, azaleas, petunias, and classic Florida greenery including mother-in-law's tongue. Stepping stones, a charming birdbath, and a graceful yard-art deer beneath a shady tree add character to the grounds, while a stately flagpole stands ready for proudly flying the American flag. The exterior has been freshly updated and painted in a crisp white palette accented by black gutters and window shutters, giving the home timeless curb appeal.
Inside, the residence offers a warm, welcoming interior with a neutral palette and tasteful vintage touches reminiscent of classic Laura Ashley or Grace Kelly style. The spacious open living and dining area creates an inviting space for everyday living or entertaining guests. The living room features a decorative fireplace, ceiling fan with tropical leaf blades, and attractive window treatments that add to the cozy atmosphere.
The separate dining room includes lovely built-in cabinetry with glass doors that evoke the charm of a china cabinet, while a recessed space between the cabinets creates the perfect nook for a small coffee or beverage bar. A chandelier provides an elegant focal point for gatherings and meals with family and friends.
The kitchen is both functional and cheerful, offering plenty of workspace, pantry storage, decorative cabinetry and hardware, and a comfortable breakfast nook area--perfect for casual mornings with coffee and sunshine.
One of the home's most delightful features is the 10' x 12' Florida Room, a bright and versatile flex space just off the living room. Fully glassed and filled with natural light, it makes a wonderful sun porch, reading room, hobby space, or quiet home office. The room also has its own entry door and includes a handicap-accessible ramp for ease of entry.
The primary suite is spacious and serene, decorated in soothing tones with soft florals reminiscent of classic Hollywood style. It includes a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bath featuring a step-in shower, new shower door, abundant cabinetry, upgraded bronze hardware, and a seamless marble-look vanity countertop with side backsplash. Lighting fixtures have also been tastefully updated, and the solid cabinet doors add a touch of luxury.
The guest bedroom offers a ceiling fan and two closets, providing ample storage, while the guest bathroom includes a tub and shower combination and a seamless single-piece marble-look vanity countertop with coordinating side backsplash. New toilets have been installed in both bathrooms, along with upgraded fixtures.
Additional interior highlights include a hallway linen closet, blinds and curtains throughout, and thoughtful storage solutions that make everyday living easy.
Outdoor spaces offer even more opportunities to relax and entertain. A portion of the sizeable carport has been used as a cozy, shaded, patio-style gathering area complete with seating and a picnic table--ideal for socializing with neighbors or hosting casual family get-togethers. The area and guests enjoy the protection of a welcomed pull-down shade during warm Florida afternoons.
The utility shed is impressively spacious and highly functional, featuring the washer and dryer, an extra refrigerator for keeping beverages cold, a mudroom-style utility sink, and abundant shelving and storage for tools, lawn equipment, and hobby projects.
For added peace of mind, the home includes a Metal Roof & numerous recent Updates, including A/C and Ductwork (2022), Hot Water Heater (approx. 2 years old), Newer Washer and Dryer, New Screens, Fresh Interior and Exterior Paint.
The home is being offered fully furnished, minus personal and staging items, making it an easy transition for a seasonal getaway or full-time Florida residence. A list of personal and staging items not included can be provided upon request.
Laurelwood residents enjoy a friendly and established community setting in highly desirable Port Orange, conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, banking, medical facilities, and essential services--while the beautiful beaches are approximately 12 minutes away. Florida has something for everyone. It seems to have more golf courses than any other state, thirteen hundred miles of coastline, unique shopping experiences, too many lakes to count, local and regional parks and recreation areas, art, culture, history and heritage.
Warm, welcoming, and filled with character, this special home offers comfort, charm, and a story that began with a beautiful surprise--and is ready for its next chapter. One or more photos (exterior) have been virtually staged.
