Set on a generously sized parcel with plenty of space between neighboring homes, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home pairs thoughtful design with the kind of layout that simply works for everyday living. Don't forget the privately owned DEEDED BOAT slip with a 5,500 lb boat hoist! Only a few homes have this privilege The main living area feels bright and welcoming with rich hardwood floors, oversized windows, coffered ceilings, and a fireplace that makes the whole space feel warm and comfortable.
