Plush new carpet in the bedrooms creates a soft, comfortable retreat at the end of the day! A brand-new washer and dryer adds convenience, while the WHOLE HOME WATER PURIFICATION system quietly enhances daily living with cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the house. This home truly stands apart when it comes to storm preparedness. With a new roof already in place and a MANUAL-CAPABLE ELECTRIC AWNING that remains functional even during power outages, the home is thoughtfully equipped for Florida’s weather realities. Adding to its appeal, the property sits above the flood plain, offering increased confidence, reduced flood risk, and potentially lower insurance considerations—an increasingly important factor for today’s buyers.
