The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, anchored by a spacious sundeck completely overhauled within the last few years that wraps around a shimmering pool accented by elegant fire pits. A newly updated summer kitchen sets the stage for effortless entertaining, while a grand pergola—complete with a loveseat swing and fireplace—offers a serene retreat. The property also features an immaculate sandy beachfront and a private double-slip boat dock keeping water toys within easy reach. A whole-home generator, 4-car garage, and high-energy HVAC units top the wish list of any home seeker.
