Upstairs, original pine hardwood floors flow through the hallway and generously sized bedrooms filled with natural light, and the primary suite features a walk-in closet plus an adjoining sunroom with closet--perfect as a home office, nursery, fitness room, or future third-bath conversion. Step outside to your own private backyard oasis featuring a heated saltwater pool with elegant travertine decking (installed 2017), a spacious entertaining deck flowing from the dining room, a covered pergola for shaded gatherings, and a separate fenced area ideal for kayaks, paddleboards, or a dedicated dog run--purpose-built for the active Florida lifestyle. The detached one-car garage houses two fully independent guest apartments with a private screened porch upstairs, all enclosed by a vinyl privacy fence surrounding the pool and guest quarters for maximum security and seclusion.
