Offering two spacious bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, this home is immersed in natural light and thoughtfully designed for modern living. As you approach, you'll be greeted by meticulously maintained potted plants, lush flowers, and Florida-friendly landscaping, leading you along a paver pathway to the covered entryway with a sleek glass front door. Step inside, and the stunning refinished terrazzo floors instantly catch your eye, extending throughout the home and complemented by large windows that invite the sunshine indoors. At the heart of the home is the updated kitchen, a true gathering space that opens to the living room and an adjacent Florida room.

Thoughtful upgrades include a cabinet pantry with pull-out shelves, a full refrigerator enclosure, glass hangars, spice cabinet, plate racks, open shelving, and plenty of petite drawers and nooks for storage and display.

A beautifully designed peninsula provides extra storage, seating, and is the perfect spot for entertaining or serving as a buffet for gatherings. The two serene bedrooms are tucked away for privacy, and an updated bathroom featuring a frameless glass shower with floor to ceiling tile, two skylights, and a comfort-height vanity. Just off the kitchen, the newly built Florida room offers a serene retreat with views of both the front and side patio seating areas. This space also includes a second full bath with a frameless glass shower, comfort-height vanity, and a full-sized stacked washer and dryer, making it an ideal guest suite or even a potential en-suite if desired.
