The open kitchen features white glass front cabinets, a new refrigerator and microwave and gas stove and an eat-in breakfast nook. The master bedroom is spacious with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. Loft serves as a second bedroom or office. A previous addition of an all-weather room nearly doubled the size of the home. The room serves as a formal dining area and great room. Encircled with impact glass windows this room can be opened up in nice weather to enjoy the breeze from the ever-present trade winds. There are two separate patio areas. One is an open Chicago brick patio facing east towards the Intracoastal, and the second is an expansive covered patio on the south side providing respite from the heat. You'll love the location!
