Every room has been updated with wood laminate flooring and modern vibes are evident from the light fixtures, paint colors, and newer kitchen and baths. To the right of the foyer is the formal living room with decorative fireplace and to the left is a banquet size formal dining with stunning light fixture and chair rail. Entering the large family room, you are immediately drawn to the impressive walk around bar area that features open display shelving and storage and wine racks around the back, and is plumbed for a sink.

The owner’s suite on the main floor is large enough to encompass a sitting area, again with unobstructed back yard views.

Two large closets, one being a huge walk-in, complete the owner’s suite. A convenient half bath for guests is also located downstairs. The second-floor features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, one being over-sized, the total depth of the house, with an updated en-suite bath, perfect for an in-law situation. The other two guest rooms share an updated hall bath. Off the back of the house is a picturesque screen lanai with slate like tile flooring overlooking a large brick courtyard. The entire back yard is encased by vinyl fencing and there are wide open views of the former golf course. A side entry two car garage plus a golf cart garage completes the offering.
