Everything you like about Riverland Terrace is found in this bungalow. The main house (approx. 1573 sq ft) features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and the income producing guest cottage (approx 500 sq ft) has a bedroom and bath, and a complete kitchen and living area. Tenants park under the carport on the left side of the house and have a private entry. The cottage was built in 2002 on the site of an old garage and has been rented without interruption since then. It currently rents for $875 a month. It is wonderful as an income producing property, but would also make a terrific mother-in-law suite or a place for returning children to live. When you enter the main house, you are instantly struck by its charm. There is a nice deep porch that just invites you to settle into a rocking chair. Inside you find a large living area which works well as a series of spaces. The owner is using part of it as a traditional sitting room and then the other area for a game table and art projects. There is a wood burning fireplace that has a Franklin stove insert. It can heat the entire house, but could be removed if you preferred a different look. There are large windows throughout, so everywhere you turn you have a glimpse of the outdoors and enjoy natural light. Heart Pine floors throughout. Downstairs you'll also find a cozy sunroom which is the perfect place to curl up with a good book. Off the living room there is a large dining room that opens to the kitchen which has a terrific island and bar area. The stove in the kitchen is a Jennair with gas cooktop, downdraft vent and electric oven- the perfect combination. The kitchen also provides a desk area, pull out pantry shelving, and deep pot and spice storage drawers. From the kitchen you'll find a full downstairs bath and laundry area that leads to the back porch and yard. On the second floor there are three good size bedrooms. The one at the top of the stairs is being used as an upstairs den. There is a large bathroom. In each room, you'll be amazed by the closet space. There are four walk-in closets upstairs and another downstairs! The house sits on a large lot, with a nice deep front yard and an equally large back yard which is fenced. The backyard is the perfect setting for the owner's annual oyster roast and in the spring it takes your breath away with its 90 year old camellias and azaleas. There are 2 large storage sheds that will convey. There is also a carport that the owner uses to park her car. From the house, you have an easy walk to the neighborhood playground and boat ramp. There are also 2 small ball fields in the neighborhood, and access to the Municipal Golf Course, as well as those incredible Riverland Terrace oak trees. On Sundays there is a neighborhood farmers market. Walk to the Terrace Theater. Riverland Terrace is less than 15 minutes to downtown, 5 minutes to EarthFare and South Windermere, and easy access to the beach. Did I mention that this house does not require flood insurance?!
