This is coastal living, beautifully reimagined!

Retreat to the luxurious primary suite with bamboo flooring, custom walk-in closet, soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms offer convenient ensuite and pool-bath access. Above the garage, a climate-controlled BONUS ROOM with half bath provides endless possibilities—fitness studio, game room, private retreat or creative space. Even the laundry room impresses with built-in cabinetry, storage and desk! Outside, your PRIVATE RESORT awaits! An expansive pavered lanai offers multiple entertaining spaces, a heated pool with sun shelf, fountain and 7' deep end, outdoor kitchen, shower, fenced yard, lush privacy palms and orange trees. No waterfront traffic, no audience—just tranquility.
