The living room adds warmth & style with an electric fireplace with custom surround & built-ins, plus a dry bar with wine cooler & granite counters, perfect for entertaining after a day at the beach. Light wood-look tile floors in the living areas, new carpet in the bedrooms, & updated lighting with dimmers add a polished feel throughout. Step outside to the covered deck with rolling shades, Bose all-weather speakers, & sleek cable railings, creating an ideal spot to relax with a drink while watching water birds glide across the lake. Upstairs, the two bedrooms offer privacy & comfort, each with beautifully updated baths featuring custom vanities, granite countertops, & modern fixtures. Sliding glass doors in the primary suite lead onto the top-level deck for sunbathing or stargazing with the most amazing views. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including a FORTIFIED Bronze 45-year roof (2019), new HVAC (2021), Window World windows with UV protection, whole-house filtration system, & durable cement board replacement on ground-level walls up to 4'.
