Continuing into the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen impresses with a large center island, gorgeous granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, solid wood cabinetry with pull-outs, under-cabinet lighting, and a vented decorator hood. The kitchen opens to a spacious family room with additional sliding doors leading to the outdoor living area.

The split floorplan offers privacy, with the second and third bedrooms sharing a full interior bathroom, while the office is conveniently located just off the front entry. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring tray ceilings, private lanai access, a large California-style walk-in closet plus additional open storage, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a makeup area, garden tub, and an oversized walk-in shower.
