Adding exceptional versatility is the attached approximately 11’7” x 22’6” finished garage/flex area, complete with tile flooring, air-conditioning vents, ceiling fan and window. Not included in the stated living area, this approximately 260-square-foot space offers exciting possibilities for an office, fitness room, studio, hobby space or potential third-bedroom configuration. One option could create an approximately 11’ x 17’ flex room while retaining approximately 11’ x 5’ of garage-accessible storage. Outside, this home truly embraces Florida living.
