This beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom + Den, first-floor end unit offers a perfect blend of charm and modern sophistication. The home has been meticulously upgraded, featuring luxurious vinyl flooring throughout and a chef’s kitchen that was renovated in the last four years. The chef's kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a lowered island for additional seating, new cabinetry, sleek mirrored tile backsplash, updated hardware, and modern custom lighting. The spacious master bedroom is filled with natural light and offers direct access to the enclosed lanai. Plantation shutters, custom paint, and a spa-like en suite bathroom remodeled in 2021 add elegance and comfort to the space.

A versatile den, located off the main living area, features opaque glass doors and can be used as a home office, gym, or additional guest accommodations. The expansive enclosed lanai provides the perfect indoor-outdoor living space, with sliders connecting to the master bedroom, living room, and dining area.
