The home’s classic architectural details, including arched doorways, tile accents, and original hardwood floors, exude timeless elegance while offering modern comforts.
The primary suite provides a private retreat with an en-suite bath with a large tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms separated from the main area ensure space for family or a lovely retreat for guests or even an in-law suite. The half bath, conveniently located near the main living areas off the kitchen, adds to the home’s functionality.
Pecky Cypress wood beams drape the family and dining space with doors leading outside through the calming foliage of the courtyard or step outside to your own private oasis.
A 18’ x 37’ enclosed pool with a Travertine deck and water features takes center stage, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
