This versatile space can easily serve as a home office, media room, fitness room, playroom, hobby space, or additional family room, offering flexibility rarely found in this area. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a roof that is only one year old, an upgraded electrical panel, complete re-plumbing with new pipes throughout the home, hurricane-rated windows, and a resurfaced garage floor. Step outside to the oversized screened lanai that spans nearly the entire rear of the home, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings and view. The carefully designed Florida-native landscaping attracts birds and wildlife while enhancing privacy and curb appeal.
