Lush landscaping, gorgeous hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, crown molding and many upgrades create an ambiance that any host would love! As you walk in and look across the room to the gleaming pool just beyond the sliding glass doors, you know it’s a home for enjoying and relaxing. With a fabulous layout the home features a family room, living room and dining room, as well as a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom shelving. There is newer carpeting in the bedrooms, and the baths have been updated. The master bedroom is enormous, has sliding glass doors leading out to the pool, and a gorgeous master bath with a walk-in shower and custom tile work. The pool and deck were resurfaced in 2018, the screened enclosure was recently added, and the mature landscaping includes orange, lemon and grapefruit trees, making it a backyard paradise.
