All three bathrooms offer low-entry showers, and wide doorways throughout the home enhance accessibility and ease of living. Outdoor living spaces are designed for both entertaining and relaxation, with a screened lanai, 24-foot pool, pool bath access, and mature landscaping. A separate fully fenced side yard provides a private, zen-inspired patio retreat. Additional highlights include an oversized 3-car garage, low annual HOA fees, and a location outside of a flood zone.
