Curb appeal welcomes you with fresh exterior paint, mature citrus trees in front, and a shaded front porch. Enter into a spacious living room, separate from the family room with a fireplace, both featuring vaulted ceilings. The oversized kitchen is central to the home and generous with: the island, counter space, storage, and even a pantry closet. A formal dining room with shutters and detailed wood trim adds a touch of elegance looking out onto the sparkling salt water pool. A half bath completes the main living areas, making it easy to host. Down the hall are all 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet for privacy and comfort. The three secondary bedrooms share a hall bath with a split design, allowing multiple users at once. The laundry room leads to a roomy 3-car garage with an EV charger. Upstairs you'll find the loft is a wonderful space for whatever you need, currently enjoyed as a home theater. The pool, blooming garden, and a partially covered patio make the back yard a rejuvenating place from sunrise to sunset. Fully paid solar keeps electric costs low.
