Description

This 3bed/2bath 80’s contemporary has been thoughtfully updated to create a light atmospheric abode. Walking up the pavered pathway provides a warm, inviting atmosphere. The front landscaping was updated with cotton candy dreams in mind. The bright blue home, juxtaposed w/ the pastel palms & purple sea grasses further a sense of playful charm. As you enter to 18ft vaulted ceilings, a naturally lit room unfolds. A wide entry sits parallel to the renovated kitchen/bar area. Overhead, a large skylight floods the entire living space. An atrium was removed, creating an opportunity to open up the area & install a true Chef’s kitchen. Bright green quartz counters sit happily atop wood grained cabinets. Whether you’re planning a datenight for 2 or entertaining 32, this is the place for it. Twelve individuals can sit comfortably around the bar while you prepare a glorious feast for friends & family. The dining room sits just off the south-side of the kitchen. A table for 6 can easily fit in the area. The banquette, w/ a small wall of windows, can serve as extra seating or a lovely ledge for the family pet. The main living area blends seamlessly off the north-side of the kitchen. An unused fireplace was enclosed to provide an entertainment center. A 55in tv rests comfortably above a covered alcove command center. Hidden from view are the components. A display ledge leading to the floor finishes the center. An oversized fan sits above a seating area large enough for an 8 person sectional or a few smaller seating areas.
