As you walk in, you will discover a true entertainer’s dream. The open-concept layout revolves around a beautifully designed chef’s kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse sink, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a striking stone-and-metal backsplash that sets the tone for unforgettable gatherings. The living and dining areas are flooded with natural light thanks to the home’s southern exposure and a series of sliding glass doors that line the walls, creating an effortless transition to the screened lanai and bringing the outdoors in. Bamboo flooring adds warmth and style throughout, complementing the fresh, coastal feel. The spacious primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring custom, hand-crafted solid-wood closet doors and a wide sliding glass door that opens directly to the lanai—a picturesque spot for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or a warm evening breeze. The second bedroom continues the theme of artisan touches with more custom closet doors, while the third bedroom, with its own separate exterior entrance and en-suite half bath, offers flexibility as a guest suite, home office, fitness studio, or creative space. The screened lanai is a true extension of the living area, featuring a beautifully crafted wood-accented ceiling that adds charm and character. This fully fenced outdoor space is ideal for relaxing, dining, or entertaining year-round. Encircling the home, vibrant tropical landscaping boosts curb appeal and creates a serene, secluded atmosphere—perfect for hosting casual neighborhood barbecues, unwinding with a good book in a hammock, or letting pets play freely.
