Cross Streets: Schraeder St. ** Directions: Heading North on Schraeder St. Turn left on Collins Dr. Some homes are priced by square footage. This one must be measured by what it would take to recreate it. 944 Collins Drive combines approximately 4,300 total sq. ft., an extensively finished walkout lower level and a level of custom indoor and outdoor investment rarely included with a builder's base price.Inside, a dramatic Jatoba hardwood staircase creates an impressive first impression. The open main floor offers generous living and entertaining areas, a dedicated office or library, Makore wood cabinetry in the kitchen, Caesarstone counters, and a kitchen overlooking the family room and backyard. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, including a completely renovated spa-inspired ensuite with heated floors, an oversized glass shower, dual shower heads, a freestanding tub, and illuminated furniture-style vanities.The finished lower level provides exceptional additional living space with in-floor heating, backyard access and room for recreation, guests, a gym or potential fifth bedroom.Outside, the investment continues with a saltwater pool, newer gas heater, covered raised deck, cabana bar, outdoor dining areas, built-in stone pizza oven, charcoal grill, extensive hardscaping and mature landscaping. Add 50-year shingles installed in 2020, upgraded mechanical components and numerous recent improvements, and the value becomes clear.No construction delays. No years of landscaping and upgrades. No unfinished backyard. Just a distinctive, move-in-ready home where the expensive work has already been completed. (id:27476)
