Set on a beautiful private lot with serene water views, this residence offers the perfect blend of elegance, functionality, and resort-style living. A brand-new roof crowns the home, which showcases a sparkling pool and spa, full outdoor grill, and expansive lanai--ideal for year-round entertaining.

Highlights include an oversized spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, and both indoor and outdoor showers. Two expansive walk-in closets plus abundant storage enhance the suite, while a private office with custom built-ins adds convenience and flexibility. At the opposite side of the home, a den/flex room offers endless possibilities perfect as a media lounge, secondary office, or potential fourth bedroom, with a full bath located nearby. Two additional guest bedrooms with plantation shutters share a bath, ensuring comfort for family and visitors. Additional features include a spacious laundry room with utility sink and walk-in storage closet, plus a three-car garage for ample parking and storage.
