This spacious residence includes a private mother-in-law suite featuring a fully renovated kitchen, generous living/dining area, walk-in closet, private bathroom with granite countertops, and a separate exterior entrance. While ideal for multigenerational living, this space also offers versatile use as a home office, gym, teen retreat, guest suite, or even potential rental income—perfect for today’s evolving lifestyle needs.

Inside, the main living area offers a modern kitchen with granite countertops, breakfast bar, brand-new stainless-steel appliances, and a cozy living/dining room combo accented by stylish beaded wainscot. The primary bedroom suite is privately located on one side of the home and features a fully renovated ensuite bathroom with quartz vanity, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. The third bedroom, also generously sized, sits on the opposite side of the home with direct access to the third full bathroom, which includes a soaking tub. The heart of the home is an oversized screened-in lanai, finished with brick pavers and a new metal roof—perfect for relaxing mornings and enjoying the spacious side yard and frequent wildlife visitors. The lanai is pre-ducted for air conditioning, making it easy to convert into a cooled living space that could count toward additional square footage.
