4600 Country

Description

Two full acres, mature trees along the edges, and a house that has clearly been looked after. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath sits in Country Place, one of Palm City's original acreage neighborhoods, where the woods between properties do the work a fence usually has to. Big-ticket items handled: metal roof 2015, A/C 2025, water heater 2024. The 2021 renovation was a loving restoration rather than a gut, so the original floor plan is still here, with an updated kitchen, all three baths redone, new flooring, and a generous family room. Outside, an 880 sq ft detached garage and shop, air-conditioned and currently set up for billiards but still fully functional as a garage, plus a covered outdoor area for golfcart, gator or other equipment. Room for a pool. The original floor plan gave this house a proper entry and rooms that are actually rooms, and the second story keeps the bedrooms well clear of the living areas. The 2021 work replaced the kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances in place rather than reworking the footprint, redid all three bathrooms, and carried new flooring through in maple, luxury vinyl plank and Berber. The shop is the part that changes how you use this property. Keep it as a workshop, leave the game room where it is, or run it as flex space for whatever the season calls for. The overhead doors were never removed, so putting vehicles back in it is a decision rather than a project. A 280 square foot utility room and a 364 square foot covered masonry porch take the everyday overflow, and the carport alongside still has space for equipment. The land is what people underestimate from the road. Behind the house the ground opens cleared and usable, deep enough that a pool and a patio would still leave most of it untouched. The boat and the trailer fit without either one becoming the view, and the pole building and shed absorb the things that otherwise end up stacked against a wall. Two acres in Palm City buys distance, and this parcel actually uses it. Utilities are straightforward. FPL for electric, Xfinity available, and a 500 gallon propane tank that serves the oven only and has been filled once in five years. The Country Place POA runs $225 quarterly and covers community maintenance. Country Place is one of the few two-acre neighborhoods left in Palm City, quiet and set back from the main corridors, though Martin Highway and I-95 are only a few minutes out. Downtown Stuart is about fifteen minutes east and the beaches are beyond it. Martin County's growth limits are why this side of Palm City still looks the way it does, and there is not much of it left.
