Thoughtfully expanded in 2019/20 with an 800 SF addition, the layout now includes a custom kitchen, family room, spacious laundry/mudroom, private primary suite, and flexible den that could serve as a 4th bedroom. Major updates include PGT hurricane-impact windows/doors, 2023 HVAC, and tankless gas water heater. Inside, the home blends vintage charm with designer sophistication.
