About the property
Updated 3BR Rivermist Home with EZ-Breeze Enclosed Porch
Rivermist living begins at the front door of 5242 Windward Way—an updated, thoughtfully detailed 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence built in 2011 and offered turnkey at 1,407 square feet. What first stands out on a walk-through is the practical elegance: brand-new LVP flooring carries through the main living areas, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance base for furniture and everyday life. Custom built-ins—shelving and bookcases—frame living spaces, giving the home a tailored, home-library feel without sacrificing flexibility.
One bedroom is outfitted as a custom Murphy bed/office, a smart space-saving solution that transforms from a productive workspace into an overnight guest room in seconds. The kitchen has been refreshed with new refrigerator and dishwasher appliances, providing both reliability and modern convenience. With central A/C and a washer hookup in place, the home is set up for comfortable year-round living without immediate upgrades.
The EZ-Breeze enclosed back porch extends the footprint of the house and functions as a transitional room for relaxed evenings, rain-protected lounging, or a tidy plant nook. Storage needs are met by built-in cabinetry and the two-car garage noted in the listing's amenities. The footprint and single-level arrangement make this property easy to manage—appealing to those seeking a low-maintenance primary residence, second home, or rental option in an amenity-rich community.
Rivermist enhances the home's value with an amenity center that reads like a neighborhood clubhouse: fitness room, billiards, a beach-entry pool, and pickleball/tennis courts all contribute to an active social calendar without leaving the development. For buyers drawn to community life—pool days, friendly matches on the courts, or casual fitness—the package here is compelling. Priced at $369,000 and showing well, 5242 Windward Way is a practical, move-in-ready example of modern coastal-area living with thoughtful built-ins and recent updates—come see the blend of convenience and community that sets this home apart.
