The great room opens effortlessly to the screened Florida room and private outdoor living spaces, while the dining room’s built-in serving bar and wine chiller complement the beautifully updated kitchen featuring custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an oversized island, and curated designer lighting. A Sonos sound system extends throughout the residence. The primary suite serves as a retreat with vaulted ceilings, a bay window sitting area, outdoor access, and a fully renovated spa-inspired bath completed in 2023. Dramatic marble-look tile, a frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath a skylight create a serene, resort-like experience. Additional baths have also been extensively renovated with elevated finishes and designer fixtures, while the updated laundry room introduces custom storage, shiplap detailing, and functional built-ins with a refined coastal aesthetic.
