The outdoor space is designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle, featuring a large, private pool ideal for laps, all enclosed within a fenced backyard and patio area for added privacy. A two-car garage with an attached workshop provides plenty of room for storage, hobbies, or projects. Recent updates include a 2025 shingle roof and an upgraded lift station for the septic system, offering peace of mind for the next owner.
