At the center of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen that opens directly to the living room, creating a spacious and inviting central living area. A massive counter-height island showcases stunning granite countertops and provides plenty of seating for family and guests. Complementing the island are contrasting Corian countertops, a pantry for additional storage, and an eye-catching tile backsplash that adds character and warmth to the space. Sliding glass doors lead to the screened lanai where you can enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after a long day, or simply take in the tranquil wooded preserve view.
