Designed for effortless coastal living, the open layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Floor-to-ceiling sliders lead to a private patio and screened-in lanai, both just steps from the beach, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to flow together naturally. The split-bedroom plan enhances privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite enjoys beautiful Gulf views, private patio access, and a peaceful setting perfect for morning coffee or sunset unwinding. A comfortable second bedroom and full bath complete the guest wing.
