The main level lives comfortably as a traditional four bedroom home. The privately positioned primary suite features direct access to the pool and lanai, a massive walk in closet, and a beautifully renovated spa style bath with frameless glass shower and garden tub. Two additional bedrooms share a fully renovated Jack and Jill bath, while a fourth bedroom on the main level, currently used as a fitness room, is served by a nearby full guest bath. What truly sets this home apart is the expansive second level guest retreat. Designed almost like a private apartment, this space features two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a den/office, and a separate loft style living area with a wet bar and access to a screened wraparound balcony. Whether used as a private guest suite, in law quarters, teen retreat, home office hub, or space for a live in nanny, the layout offers exceptional flexibility while maintaining privacy from the main living areas. The home has been extensively updated throughout, including a renovated kitchen and baths with quartz counters, new flooring, fresh paint, upgraded lighting, hurricane impact sliding doors, and modern fixtures. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a redesigned pool and spa, an expansive and private lanai, updated outdoor kitchen, and refreshed pool decking creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.
