Even the front of the home was designed to be enjoyed, with a spacious FRONT PORCH perfect for unwinding outdoors. Spray foam insulation added to the home in 2022 extends to the front porch area, helping maintain a more comfortable temperature while enjoying the space. Inside, the home feels bright, welcoming and exceptionally cared for. The LARGE KITCHEN offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, a generous PANTRY and an INSTANT HOT WATER FAUCET at the sink. A convenient PASS-THROUGH WINDOW connects the kitchen directly to the lanai and pool area, making it easy to serve drinks, snacks and meals while entertaining outdoors. The kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, creating an open, comfortable layout with easy access to the outdoor living spaces. The spacious PRIMARY SUITE features a LARGE WALK-IN CLOSET WITH BUILT-INS and an expansive en-suite bathroom complete with DUAL VANITIES and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full guest bathroom provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests or a home office. The LARGE LAUNDRY ROOM adds even more functionality with a convenient UTILITY SINK. A 2022 GARAGE REMODEL/CONVERSION thoughtfully expanded the home's finished interior space while retaining a portion of the former garage behind the existing garage door. This impressive, expertly finished and versatile remaining area is ideal for a HOME GYM, WORKSHOP, or STORAGE for tools, motorcycles, jet skis and other recreational equipment. INSULATION THROUGHOUT THE GARAGE ROOF and an INSULATED GARAGE DOOR further enhance the functionality of this unique space.
