A first-floor bedroom provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office, while the expansive second-floor primary suite offers a relaxing retreat. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island, walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry with prep space. Both kitchen sinks and faucets were replaced in 2025/2026, and the refrigerator was replaced in 2025. The home's interior was freshly painted in 2026, including the walls and ceilings. Step outside and discover a true Florida backyard oasis designed for entertaining and year-round enjoyment. The fenced backyard features a saltwater pool surrounded by pavers, a pool heater, and a new pool motor installed in 2025. Two pergolas added in 2023 and 2025, sun sails for added shade, hammocks, and a dedicated fire-pit area with pavers create multiple spaces to gather, relax and entertain—from sunny afternoons by the pool to evenings around the fire. The outdoor porch was further enhanced with granite countertops in 2025/2026, adding additional serving space for outdoor entertaining. Garden lovers will appreciate an extraordinary collection of established fruit trees, plants, and herbs, including Meyer lemon, avocado, plantain, banana, mango, peach, tamarind, grapefruit, papaya and blueberry, along with cilantro, culantro, thyme, basil and ginger—creating your own backyard edible garden. Major improvements provide even more peace of mind, including a NEW ROOF and gutters in 2023 with hurricane straps, added insulation in 2025, generator hookups, PVC plumbing, and a septic system serviced and pumped in August 2026. A whole-home AirCycler ventilation and air-circulation system was installed in 2025 to help promote consistent airflow and fresh-air circulation throughout the home. The water heater and HVAC systems have been routinely maintained, including replacement of components as needed. All five toilets were replaced approximately three years ago, including two bidet toilets. The spacious 3-car garage provides excellent parking and storage and also features a dedicated workshop area enhanced with granite countertops in 2025/2026—ideal for hobbies, projects, organization, or additional workspace.

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.
