Privately positioned at the rear of the home, the primary suite offers a massive walk-in closet and a well-appointed en-suite bath with dual vanities, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a private water closet. The split-bedroom design provides comfort and separation for guests or household members, while the secondary living area adds flexibility as a media room, playroom, fitness space, or quiet retreat. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with no rear neighbors, providing peaceful views of the wooded area behind and rare privacy. The covered, screened-in lanai creates the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation or entertaining year-round, while the welcoming front porch offers an additional seating and a charming location to enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere.
