Extensively reimagined for entertaining, it delivers exceptional indoor-outdoor Florida living with island-inspired architecture throughout. THE HEART OF THE HOME: The main kitchen was created for a serious cook, with extensive granite workspace, a peninsula seating four, GE 30" double oven, Dutch-door refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, two wine refrigerators and an integrated wall spice system holding 30 Spice House spices. The adjoining dinette adds a fireplace and views of the outdoor living areas.

Designed for intimate dinners or large gatherings, it offers dining and conversation areas plus a complete SECOND KITCHEN centered around a 6' x 8' granite island seating six. It also includes a Dutch-door refrigerator, dishwasher, convection microwave, upright freezer, farmhouse sink, instant hot water and approximately 1,000-CFM ventilation for high-heat cooking. A private half bath features an underwater-effect glass ceiling. Reconstructed antique Bali architectural elements add distinctive island character. INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING: Nine-foot stacking patio doors open to the private resort setting. The approximately 20' x 40' screened pool has an extra-deep 8' end and Wi-Fi-controlled heat pump.

Enjoy a 6' dining table seating eight in swivel chairs beneath a large Sunsetter awning, a second Sunsetter awning, marble fireplace with lighted conch detail, tropical landscaping and island-cabana-style lanai. A hot tub completes the retreat. MERMAID SPA PRIMARY RETREAT: The primary bedroom enjoys pool and golf views, direct outdoor access and two walk-in closets. Glass French doors open to the custom spa bath, where a stone-floored walk-in shower offers body sprays, rain showerhead and handheld shower. Dual vessel sinks, custom makeup area and deep soaking tub with waterfall feature continue the spa experience. A hidden interior window framed by reconstructed antique Bali shutters connects visually with the Bali detailing in the Entertainment Room.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
