A flexible den easily serves as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional guest space.

Extensive 2021 improvements provide both luxury and peace of mind, including a new roof, impact windows and sliders, and updated dock and pilings. Additional upgrades include all-new Schedule 40 drain piping beneath the slab and a 2025-installed 26KW whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank, ensuring reliable backup power year-round.

The covered waterfront lanai is pre-plumbed and wired for a future outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. Additional features include an oversized garage, carport, and ample parking.
