A timeless El Cid restored Mediterranean gem, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence is located on the desirable Intracoastal block. Renovated down to the studs in 2018, the home seamlessly blends classic charm with modern sophistication. Expansive, light-filled living and entertaining spaces are enhanced by original wood floors, restored stained glass windows, and pecky cypress ceilings. The newly updated chef's kitchen and full hurricane-impact windows and doors bring clean, contemporary lines to the home's historic elegance. Outside, a resort-style heated pool and mature tropical landscaping provide the perfect setting for relaxation and leisure.
