Situated on nearly half an acre of lush, tropical landscaping in the X flood zone, this home offers outstanding curb appeal with a paver driveway and walkway, professional landscaping, garden curbing, and an irrigation system sourced from reclaimed water. Inside, the expanded split floor plan provides larger-than-standard bedrooms on each side, creating a comfortable layout for family and guests. Enter through a spacious screened entry and double doors into the formal living and dining rooms, where large sliders reveal views of the expansive paver lanai with a heated pool and spa featuring a waterfall. Vaulted ceilings and neutral tile in the main living areas give the home a bright and airy feel. The well-appointed kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a built-in desk area, a walk-in pantry, and an open view to the family room, which provides additional access to the outdoor space, perfect for entertaining. The adjoining breakfast nook, with a beautiful aquarium-style window, offers superb views of the pool and backyard. The large, light-filled master suite includes a tray ceiling, double-door entry, two walk-in closets, direct access to the lanai and pool, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a Roman shower, dual granite-topped vanity, and multiple storage closets. Guests will enjoy the oversized bedrooms one of which has dual walk-in closets offering ample storage space.
