As you enter the home through the French Doors, you are greeted by the vaulted ceilings in the foyer and the openness of the floorplan. Through the arched entryway you will notice the formal living and dining area which could also be utilized as an office, playroom, or gym. Opposite of this room is the dinette area that flows into the spacious kitchen with breakfast bar, ample counter space, closet pantry, and opens to the high ceilings of the spacious family room. This family room can accommodate a variety of furniture options and a large television would go great on either of the walls. Sliding glass doors open to the screened lanai which absorbs the southerly facing sunlight during the day. Privately tucked around the corner is the primary bedroom with tray ceilings, dual closets, one of which is a large walk in, dual vanities, a makeup counter, garden tub, glass shower, and water closet. This bedroom also has access to the lanai. On the other side of the home you will find bedroom 2, guest bathroom, and what may be just the room you are in need of. This 20x12 bedroom with French Doors would make a fantastic billiards or snooker room, mancave, craft room, or even just a huge bedroom. The possibilities are endless.
