Designed for effortless Florida living, the bright open-concept floor plan features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a chef-inspired kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous cabinetry, and a large center island overlooking the spacious living and dining areas. Extended 12-foot covered lanai with a panoramic screen enclosure, creating an exceptional outdoor living space with peaceful water views and seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A natural gas connection is already in place, making it easy to add the outdoor kitchen or grill you’ve always wanted. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout the home, including smart ceiling fans, TV-height electrical outlets with Cat6 wiring at every television location for a clean, modern setup, and a dedicated 240V/60-amp garage connection ready for electric vehicle charging.
