The updated interior showcases 12’ high ceilings, a beautifully tiled main living area, a completely remodeled kitchen, a large den/office, and a beautifully updated primary bathroom with multiple shower heads. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom layout, complemented by a thoughtful half bath off the main living area. Additional upgrades include a new roof (2024), full hurricane impact-resistant windows and French doors, a two-zone A/C system, and efficient gas connections for the water heater and dryer. Complete with a 3-car garage, the property features a private fenced backyard retreat showcasing a covered lanai as well as a custom pergola area complete with pavers, a hot tub, and a peaceful canal view.
