With almost 3,300 square feet of bright and airy living space, this home seamlessly blends comfort with coastal charm. Multiple lanais, a sparkling screened-in pool, and your private, well-protected dock create the perfect setting for soaking in the Florida sun. The spacious kitchen invites both chefs and guests to gather, while the expansive great room—featuring a wet bar, fireplace, and direct access to the waterfront—sets the stage for unforgettable moments.
