This 4-bed, 3-bath home ensures peace of mind with a 2021 roof featuring a 20-year warranty, dual AC units, and a newer water heater.

The primary suite offers understated luxury complemented by a refreshed ensuite with a glass-enclosed shower and dual-vessel vanity. A versatile bonus room adds to the home's flexible layout. From the main living areas, the transition to the screened lanai is effortless, with privacy-fenced grounds that offer a perfect blend of open lawn and mature shade trees. Unique to this property is the detached efficiency, joined by a breezeway and featuring its own kitchenette, bath, and entrance—ideal for multi-generational living, a private home office, or income potential.
