The home features a photo-voltaic system that provides most of the home's energy needs, supporting an environmentally friendly lifestyle with modern comforts. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with two spacious lanais — one on the ground level and another private lanai off the primary bedroom upstairs.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a half bath. The upstairs bedrooms showcase gorgeous tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings that bring warmth and character to the space. The primary bedroom is a true retreat with cedar walls and access to its own private lanai — the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by nature.
