Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom + den, 2-bathroom home with a 2-car garage, tile roof, and an impressive list of upgrades designed for both comfort and peace of mind. High ceilings enhance the bright, open feel of the home, while tray ceilings in the living room, primary suite, and primary bathroom add an elegant architectural touch.

Stainless steel appliances complement the space, along with a large farmhouse sink, Moen faucet, and updated disposal. The spacious primary suite leads to an upgraded bathroom with dual sinks, Fantasy Brown granite, updated cabinetry, a separate soaking tub and shower, and a sleek rain-glass shower wall. The guest bathroom has also been updated with new cabinetry, granite, sink, and Moen faucet. Additional interior improvements include fresh paint and updated trim, professionally cleaned and sealed tile and grout, added laundry-room cabinetry and shelving, ceiling fans with lights throughout, and a newer A/C system installed in 2023 with a transferable maintenance contract. This home is especially well equipped for Florida living. Step outside to the screened-in lanai, where you can relax and enjoy a serene view of the beautifully landscaped surroundings. A high-end Firman 9,500-watt generator is connected through an Interlock system to provide whole-home backup power, while an extensive hurricane-protection package includes aluminum locking shutters for the home's windows, clear polycarbonate shutters for select front windows, and Storm Smart hurricane screens on the lanai, including one large electric roll-down and two smaller manual roll-down screens. The tile roof has been professionally inspected and maintained, including repairs, cleaning, and sealing completed in 2024 with a 5-year warranty. Outside, you'll find a screened front entry, refreshed exterior paint, low-voltage landscape lighting, and a landscaped backyard enclosed by a 4-foot aluminum fence with two gates—ideal for pets. The garage offers abundant overhead storage, a Lifestyle screen with access door, LiftMaster opener with battery backup, and an included refrigerator/freezer. Quarterly pest control and annual termite inspections provide additional peace of mind. Even better, the home is elevated approximately 3 feet for added flood protection and offers a transferable flood insurance policy. Located in a pet- and family-friendly neighborhood close to Southwest Florida's beaches, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this thoughtfully maintained home combines extensive upgrades, storm preparedness, and an ideal Florida lifestyle.
