From the curb, you'll notice the large covered front porch and mature, well-kept landscaping. Inside, the main living area features custom built-ins and soaring 24-foot ceilings that fill the space with natural light. The home has been upgraded with LED lighting throughout, high-end light and bath fixtures, and hardwood flooring across the main level. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2022 and includes quartz countertops, a new refrigerator, a KitchenAid 36” gas cooktop, GE Monogram wall ovens with a built-in microwave combo, pantry, tall upgraded cabinetry, a center prep island, and seating for four at the main island. The open layout continues into a café-style dining area, creating a great space to gather and enjoy the view. The downstairs primary suite includes a hurricane-rated exterior door (2021) that leads directly to the back pool deck and straight to the hot tub! The primary bathroom has been fully renovated with a standalone soaking tub, a custom marble walk-in shower, and dual sinks with custom cabinetry. Bring your purses, shoes, and hats—this primary closet is giant! Upstairs, a second full suite with private bath provides space for guests, a game room, theater, or second office. Two additional nicely sized bedrooms upstairs share a full bathroom. The spacious second-floor loft has ample space for a TV area, gym, or playroom—flexible living ready for your family’s footprint. This is a true smart home, with many systems—including appliances, garage doors, sprinklers, cameras, and lighting—controlled through an app. The home is equipped with a Ring security system hardwired throughout, monitoring the home and all windows and doors.
