About the property

Updated 3-Bed Home Backing to Quiet Wooded Lot in Poquito Bayou

Set on a peaceful lot that backs to a quiet wooded buffer, 48 Hillcrest Drive is a thoughtfully updated single-level home in the Poquito Bayou area that balances everyday comfort with outdoor lifestyle perks. At 1,928 square feet, the floor plan emphasizes openness: a large central island anchors the kitchen and opens directly to a generous living area where sightlines reach the screened patio and the green privacy beyond. The island becomes a natural hub for casual meals and gathering while still leaving room for a formal dining area or home office nook.

The three-bedroom split plan keeps the primary suite removed from secondary bedrooms, offering a private, restful corner of the house. Two full baths and ample storage give the home a practical feel for families or downsizers who want single-floor living without compromise. Recent updates — cited by the seller as move-in ready — sharpen the presentation while preserving a comfortable scale throughout each room.

Outside, the screened patio is a standout: a quiet spot for coffee or weekend reading that overlooks a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to add a pool or garden. The rear yard’s wooded edge creates a natural backdrop and additional privacy. Practical bonuses include a property free of HOA restrictions and access to a community beach and boat launch less than a half mile away, making water access an easy part of your routine.

This home will appeal to buyers looking for turnkey condition in a small, water-oriented community. With its combination of interior updates, a large kitchen island, screened outdoor living, and a private, fenced lot with expansion potential, 48 Hillcrest Drive is ready to accommodate both quiet evenings and active weekends on the bay. Buyer to verify all measurements and pertinent information.

Editorial market perspective

This listing aligns closely with the property's valuation estimate: the broker list price of $500,000 matches the valuation midpoint provided and equates to roughly $259 per square foot. The estimate range ($480K–$520K) and confidence score (0.65) suggest the list price sits squarely within local expectations for an updated, single-level home with water-access amenities. Without current MLS metrics for days on market or active inventory in hand, buyers should consult local listings for real-time demand signals. That said, single-family homes with proximate bay access and no-HOA appeal often retain buyer interest because they offer both lifestyle value (beach/launch nearby) and expansion potential (room for a pool or garden). For sellers, pricing at the valuation midpoint is a defensible strategy to attract competitive showings; for buyers, the parity between list price and the estimate indicates limited markup and a transaction that could proceed efficiently when financing and inspections are in order. Reach out to a local MLS source or listing agent for live data on inventory and average market time in Poquito Bayou and the broader Shalimar area.
