This coastal gem offers the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living, featuring an open floor plan with an inviting great room that flows seamlessly onto a spacious screened porch and sun deck overlooking the water-ideal for entertaining or relaxing by the canal.  At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen showcases high-end cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, a large center island, and premium stainless-steel appliances, creating the perfect setting for casual dining or elegant entertaining.
