This 2bedroom PLUS bonus room, 2bath home, with huge screened in back patio, built in 2000 (with a 2019 roof & 2023 AC!) spans 1,532sqft of living space, with 2,488sqft total under roof on a .24-acre lot. Before you even step through the front door, you’ll be greeted by a screened-in porch, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee (bug-free!) to start your day off right! Bright and breezy indoors thanks to an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and plenty of double-pane tilt-in windows (makes cleaning easier than you’d expect), the living area comes pre-wired for surround sound... so go ahead and crank up the movie nights or weekend playlists! The kitchen offers an abundance of cabinets, generous counter space, a breakfast bar, and even a dedicated coffee station - plus, it flows effortlessly into the dining area for easy entertaining and everyday convenience!

It also offers its own French door access to the massive screened-in cedar porch which practically doubles your living space and comes ready with speakers, a ceiling fan breeze, and views worth staying up late for. The second bedroom is on the opposite side of the home from the primary suite giving that true split floor plan, providing added privacy for guests or family. It’s a comfortable and functional space that feels just removed enough without being out of the way. Need extra space? No problem! This canal-front gem includes a bonus room that’s ready for whatever you need - office, guest space, or hobby hideaway! Another bonus incoming... NO carpet here!
