Additional features include double-pane windows with a transferable warranty, a tankless water heater, permanent air filter, high-end water filtration system, newer septic drain field, and whole-house surge protection. These upgrades not only enhance comfort but also help keep long-term ownership costs low. One of the most inviting spaces is the enclosed 10x17 screened room with waterproof flooring — perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or entertaining friends year-round. Outside, you’ll find exceptional storage and workspace with a double-wide carport, a 10x24 golf cart garage with electricity and overhead door, and a 12x30 workshop in the back with its own breaker box. A generator hookup adds yet another layer of convenience and preparedness. Located in the desirable 55+ community of Martin Estates, a friendly resident-owned co-op, this home offers both affordability and long-term stability.
