Description

Welcome to this beautifully refreshed 1967 Royal Pines ranch, where classic character meets thoughtful modern updates—and where flexibility opens the door to income opportunities or multi-generational living. With two living spaces under one roof, this property is ideal for buyers seeking a primary home with rental potential, an in-law suite, or a smart investment opportunity (buyer to verify). From the moment you arrive, the home’s fresh exterior paint, mature landscaping, and long, wide driveway create warm and welcoming curb appeal with plenty of parking and private outdoor spaces for guests or tenants. The main home (right side) features the original 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout, updated throughout while maintaining its timeless charm. Sunlight pours across gleaming hardwood floors, and the covered front porch invites you to slow down with morning coffee or unwind at sunset. The primary bedroom is cozy and stylish with a rich deep-teal accent wall and a private en-suite bathroom featuring a spa-like tiled shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a refreshed hall bath that keeps a nod to the home’s history with the original iron tub, complemented by updated tile and fixtures for a serene, modern feel. A light-filled living room is anchored by a large picture window—perfect for showcasing your favorite plants—and a wood-burning stove that makes winter evenings extra cozy (plus firewood ready for next season). The eat-in kitchen has been completely transformed with new cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and easy-care flooring, creating a bright and welcoming space for everyday meals and weekend gatherings. Step outside to enjoy the covered back deck overlooking a spacious fenced yard, complete with a fire pit and plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or letting both two- and four-legged loved ones roam freely. A shared laundry area connects the main home to the second living space while allowing for privacy, and the apartment also offers its own separate entry from the driveway. And then there’s the guest apartment — tiny but mighty! 131 Locust Court Apartment was once a two-car garage and has been beautifully reimagined into a stylish 1-bedroom apartment. This 574 square feet is packed with clever design touches. Inside you’ll find built-in cabinetry, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen complete with a full-size stove, refrigerator, sink, and compact dishwasher. Outside, a private covered patio and small fenced yard create a charming outdoor retreat—perfect for guests, tenants, or extended family. Versatile, inviting, and full of possibilities—this Royal Pines gem offers the space, charm, and flexibility today’s buyers are looking for.
