The extended screened lanai and welcoming front patio feature beautiful brick pavers, adding character to the home's inviting outdoor spaces. Inside, the spacious main living area is complemented by a separate formal living room, offering flexibility for entertaining, quiet relaxation, or creating a space uniquely your own. The dining area flows effortlessly into the kitchen and breakfast area, where updated cabinetry, a center island, and a convenient pantry make cooking, gathering, and everyday living both enjoyable and practical. When the day winds down, retreat to the generous primary suite, complete with a private bathroom featuring a relaxing Jacuzzi tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
