Step inside the main residence and you’re immediately greeted by the warmth of original pine wood floors, beautiful original molding and timeless architectural details.

A convenient half bath is located just off this space. The elegant dining room features a statement chandelier and beautiful built-ins and flows effortlessly into the updated kitchen, complete with solid-wood white cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting and updated stainless-steel appliances.

The backyard has been further enhanced with a beautiful pergola and artificial turf, creating an inviting, low-maintenance setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or enjoying Florida's cooler evenings.
