A spacious fourth bedroom/flex space presents an excellent option for your home office, fitness room or media space. Upon entering, you will see the current owners made a substantial investment of $170k in 2025 on thoughtfully selected improvements, carefully enhancing the home while preserving its timeless character and craftsmanship. The entire home received new flooring/lighting and ceiling fans. The inviting family room showcases a stunning feature wall with a fireplace, built-in shelving and a wet bar, creating a focal point for large gatherings. Anchoring the home is the open-plan kitchen, which flows effortlessly into the expansive family room and outdoor lanai, creating the ideal setting for year-round indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Thoughtfully renovated with elegant quartz counters, a stylish stone tile backsplash, a new sink with a designer touchless faucet and an updated suite of appliances, this kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional.

The expansive backyard has plenty of space to design and build a custom resort-style pool and outdoor living area, perfectly complementing the existing lanai, creating the ultimate backyard retreat. The private owner's suite features a large ensuite bath and beautifully renovated fireplace, adding warmth and sophistication to this peaceful retreat. The exterior has received equal attention with completely refreshed landscaping, redesigned flower beds and new privacy hedges. A recent survey is included with the property, which was facilitated by the construction of an impressive 36-by-16-foot detached garage/outbuilding, featuring a sturdy floor system, insulation and electrical prep, ideal for a workshop, garage, business, hobby space, additional storage or future customization. Extensive professional tree maintenance has also been completed to enhance both the beauty and long-term safety of the property.
