Beautiful 42-inch premium solid wood cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a newly tiled backsplash, stunning upgraded granite countertops, a pantry, and an expansive breakfast bar make this kitchen as functional as it is attractive.

A separate dining area overlooks the pool and lanai. But the real showstopper awaits outdoors! Sliding glass doors open to an expansive screened lanai and gorgeous heated pool, surrounded by attractive paver decking and overlooking a peaceful, permanently protected preserve.

Whether enjoying your morning coffee, hosting friends, or relaxing poolside, this is outdoor living at its finest.

The oversized primary suite offers privacy with a tray ceiling, generous walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a spacious walk-in shower, and thoughtfully installed grab bars. Two additional bedrooms are comfortably sized, while the large den offers excellent flexibility as a home office, hobby room, or potential fourth bedroom. The guest bathroom features updated granite countertops and newer fixtures. **IMPORTANT UPDATES AND ADDED PEACE OF MIND:** A NEW ROOF IN 2023, recently painted exterior with attractive stone accents, hurricane protection installed in 2018 - including electric shutters at the front entrance and sliding doors and Kevlar fabric panels for remaining openings, plus a screened front entry and surround-sound wiring.
