The kitchen is conveniently located next to the car port with an entry door allowing easy transport of groceries from car to counter.
A standout feature of this property is a large, screened-in lanai, offering the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view of the expansive backyard, or entertain a large gathering of friends and family.

Smart features enhance this home: Nest Thermostat is easily programed in the app to change the temperature of your home on a set schedule (i.e. when you leave for work & 30 minutes before you get home), and then can be adjusted anytime you want remotely from your cell phone. This can save you $ on your electric bill! The Ring Doorbell can detect motion. Get alerts about what's happening at your front door from any mobile device.
