Upstairs, a spacious finished bonus room with its own HVAC system, full bath, walk-in closet, and built-in lighting and speakers offers flexibility as a guest retreat, media room, or hobby space. The home includes three flat-screen TVs, a smart irrigation system, and Alexa-enabled controls for the security system, thermostat, irrigation, and select lighting—providing a seamless, smart home experience. The Peninsula on the Indian River Bay boasts a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and much more—every detail thoughtfully designed to fit every lifestyle.
