Recent UPDATED improvements include INTERIOR WALL PAINT (2025) and EXTERIOR PAINT (2020) , giving the home a fresh, move in ready feel. The property is powered by SOLAR PANELS with a back up battery that provides approximately 35% of the main home’s electricity — a major win for both insurance and monthly savings.
***Out back, your private oasis awaits. The INGROUND POOL and GAS HEATED SPA sit on a beautifully landscaped, pavered deck, surrounded by tropical foliage and multiple lounging areas. The pool area is supported by GAS APPLIANCES, including a tankless water heater and gas hookup for a grill — perfect for weekend gatherings or quiet evenings under the palms.
***The CARRIAGE HOUSE adds even more value with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, its own electric meter, and its own SOLAR PANELS, which cover 100% of electricity in summer and 65% the rest of the year .
