The welcoming kitchen is open to the spacious dining and living areas, providing plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. Step through the sliding glass doors to a large, screened lanai. Whether sipping coffee or hosting friends, the peaceful water view provides a calming backdrop. Retreat to the primary suite, which offers private access to the lanai and features a recently renovated en-suite bath complete with an oversized walk-in shower and a generous closet. A private laundry room is located off the lanai, and a dedicated storage space is included within the deeded carport. Meticulously maintained, the residence includes a new HVAC installed in 2024.
