Step inside the dining area which extends to the living room and you will find an impressive wood-burning fireplace with stunning masonry work creating a cozy focal point—an uncommon yet delightful feature for Florida homes, ideal for winter evenings. The open breakfast bar provides a view into the updated kitchen, which features modern cabinetry, newer appliances, and thoughtful design elements, while still preserving touches of its original vintage appeal. The Terrazzo flooring in the living and dining areas, as well as one of the bedrooms, adds to the home’s character. This home offers three flexible bedrooms. Ample windows and storage space, makes them ideal for use as bedrooms, a den, or a Florida room to suit your needs. The primary bathroom has been tastefully updated, and a second full bath can be found just outside the main living space. A covered walkway connects the home to not only the second bathroom but also a block laundry room, a utility room, and a workshop area, providing functional space while keeping everything easily accessible. The property has been thoughtfully reinforced with block around the perimeter as well, providing added structural security and ensuring exceptional performance during recent storms. Neither wind nor storm surge from recent storms breached the home itself, emphasizing its resilience and well-planned design.
