Step inside to find a turnkey, coastal-chic interior highlighted by crisp shiplap accents, warm wood-style flooring, and elegant metallic hardware throughout. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, premium stone countertops, custom tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar with seating, all while offering a subtle peekaboo views of the glistening Gulf of Mexico. It flows seamlessly into a bright dining space framed by a shell-pendant chandelier and an inviting living room that opens through sliding glass doors to a private, screened lanai framed by tropical palms and water views.
Upstairs, the layout is designed for comfort and convenience. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat with water views, large closet space, and barn-door entry into an upgraded bathroom featuring dual vanities, white shiplap walls, and a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling marble tile and gold hardware accents. Just down the hall, the secondary bedroom, which also catches a peekaboo Gullf view, is accompanied by a second full bathroom and ther is also a dedicated upstairs laundry closet with front-loading washer and dryer units. Outside, the property enjoys tranquil views of lush tropical foliage and a quiet island setting, complete with recent structural and mechanical improvements like updated windows, a brand new roof, 2021 air conditioning units, and a private garage with recently install hurricane rated garage door.
