With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one of which serves as a pool bath), a media room/den, and a newly added bonus room, this home boasts over 2,800 square feet of living space.

The expansive granite breakfast bar overlooks a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of storage and prep space. The kitchen showcases staggered hardwood cabinetry, new "fingerproof" black stainless steel appliances - including a wall oven and microwave combo - a separate cooktop, and quartz counters on the prep areas and center island. Pendant lighting over the breakfast bar adds a warm touch to the ambiance. The full-sized dining area comfortably seats 10, while the cozy breakfast nook offers an additional space to enjoy meals with views of the pool and lake. A furniture-quality buffet provides extra storage for fine china and glassware, complete with a built-in wine rack – ready for your next dinner party. The covered lanai offers yet another ideal dining space, featuring a partial summer kitchen with a mini-fridge, granite counters, storage cabinets, and a sink while keeping you cool in the shade. The spacious owner's suite is flooded with natural light from a wall of windows overlooking the water and two large sliders leading directly to the pool area. The ensuite bath is designed for relaxation with a wide vanity for two, a walk-in shower, and jetted tub. The media room is a great place for watching TV while the adjacent custom-built bonus room can serve as an office, gym, or hobby space - all out of sight. A 300-gallon inground propane tank fuels the interior fireplace and the pool and spa heater. Three electric awnings extend at the touch of a button to provide additional shade around the pool, while accordion hurricane shutters protect the lanai and pool area when you're away. Recent upgrades include new tile Roof (2022), updated appliances, AC (2021), pool heater and pump (2021), and pool resurface (2016).
