Sliding doors and transom windows fill the space with light while creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow ideal for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the kitchen blends warmth and functionality with rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, professional-grade appliances, and generous bar seating for six. Five recessed display niches crown the cabinetry, adding architectural interest, while a built-in desk and pantry storage enhance everyday convenience. A pocket door leads to the formal dining room, where vaulted ceilings, a chandelier, and courtyard-facing windows create an elegant setting for gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast nook is wrapped in picture windows and dual sliders, offering panoramic views of the pool and pond on three sides. The primary suite is thoughtfully positioned for privacy, featuring vaulted ceilings, serene pond views through plantation-shuttered windows, and direct lanai access. A charming bump-out provides space for a desk or sitting area, while the spa-inspired bath offers a glass-enclosed shower with multi-function panel, a corner Jacuzzi tub with marble surround beneath a chandelier, custom cabinetry, and a generous walk-in closet with built-ins. Two additional vaulted bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with a tub-shower combination and decorative tilework, and one bedroom opens directly to the lanai. A convenient powder room, well-appointed laundry with cabinetry and utility sink, and an oversized two-car garage with epoxy floors and built-in storage complete the interior. Outside, the screened lanai becomes a natural extension of the living space, featuring stamped concrete decking, brick coping, multiple seating areas, ceiling fans, and a hot tub alongside the private pool.
