At the heart of the outdoor space is a stunning free-form saltwater pool, renovated in 2015, surrounded by an expansive travertine pool deck perfect for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the Florida sunshine year-round. The fully fenced backyard provides exceptional privacy and plenty of room for gatherings, gardening or simply unwinding in your own tropical retreat.

Additional improvements include a full reroof in 2017, AC replacement in 2024, new 4-inch PVC sewer piping from the home to the Air Vac tap and fresh interior paint in the living room, dining room and kitchen.
