The spacious great room flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an inviting layout for both daily living and entertaining. Two guest bedrooms each include walk-in closets, and the guest bath features a tub/shower combination. The generously sized primary suite accommodates large furnishings and includes a substantial walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in separate shower. Exterior features are equally impressive. A circular driveway welcomes you at the front of the home, while an extended drive leads to the backyard, where you’ll find a 20x40 carport tall enough to accommodate a motorhome, and a 20x20 carport. Two 45-foot shipping containers provide extensive additional storage. The A/C system was replaced in 2025. For added security and comfort, the home is equipped with a whole-house generator and a whole-home water conditioning system, delivering high-quality water sourced from Florida’s aquifer.
