Crowning it is an original single-level residence featuring four bedrooms, two separate living zones and a vast covered patio, ideal for alfresco entertaining with a breathtaking water view. Outside you'll discover a lagoon-style pool wrapped in lush hedges that lend privacy, and a tiered rear yard with flat lawns where children and pets can run free. Rounding out the amenities are a double garage and a pontoon for easy access to the calm waterway.
