In the sought-after waterfront community of Mallard Bay, this custom-built home pairs polished curb appeal with an easy, functional floor plan. A welcoming covered front porch leads you inside, where rich hardwoods unfold beneath a pleasing neutral color palette. Room for a bright home office or a more intimate living space flanks the foyer while the more open and spacious living area is at the back of the home where views of the pool with water feature can be enjoyed. The primary living space boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, built-ins and fireplace creating a warm and inviting space that seamlessly flows into the open eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar, stainless appliances, glass front cabinetry, and a beautifully upgraded butler's pantry. The main-level owner's suite features a trey ceiling, a quaint seating nook, plus a renovated bath with an oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and two walk-in closets with closet systems. An additional bedroom as well as a private-entry flex space with full bath and driveway access expands the possibilities for a guest suite, studio, gym, office, or workshop. The upper level with the remaining bedroom, and large bonus room finish out the interior of this house, while outside, the backyard feels like a tucked-away retreat with an in-ground pool with water feature, hot tub, fire pit, and covered and uncovered outdoor gathering spaces allow outdoor living and enjoyment almost all year round. Added features include a whole-house generator, whole-house water softener system, and sound system through the main level. Mallard Bay offers waterfront community amenities including a day dock and boat ramp, with nearby Choto dining, Admiral Farragut Park, and Northshore conveniences close by.
