From the moment you arrive, the upgraded stone-accent elevation, elegant glass front door, and professionally designed landscaping create an impressive first impression. Inside, a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, crown molding, upgraded trim, and wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring sets the tone throughout. The thoughtful split-bedroom floorplan includes a private en-suite at the front of the home — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or anyone who values their own space and privacy — along with a separate enclosed den perfect for a home office, reading room, or media space.

The upgraded kitchen features white solid-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, designer backsplash, under-cabinet and pendant lighting, a large center island, built-in cooktop, and double wall ovens. Natural light fills the living space and draws your eye through the sliding glass doors to the oversized screened lanai — perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or gathering with family and friends. Privately tucked at the rear of the home, the spacious primary suite offers a tray ceiling, spa-inspired bath with oversized walk-in shower and dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. Additional upgrades include the oversized 3-car garage with utility sink, hurricane shutters, 150 MPH wind-load construction, smart thermostat, Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, upgraded lighting and electrical, irrigation system, and luxury vinyl flooring throughout nearly the entire home.
