Expansive double sliders open to a screened outdoor living area with an oversized pool area for grilling and an oversized patio ideal for entertaining. The triple-split floor plan offers spaciousness and functionality, enhanced by aquarium-style transom windows and octagon architectural accents. The expansive primary suite boasts two double sliders with direct access to the pool and outdoor lounge area. At the heart of the home, the recently renovated kitchen offers style and substance with custom wood ceiling insets, Samsung appliances, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an extra-large pantry, and a large center island with comfortable seating.
