This home says "Welcome to Paradise"! Renovations by Towles in 2003-4 included gutting the entire living area to open up the floor plan, making it perfect for entertaining friends and family. Gourmet kitchen features island with ample room forinformal dining at the counter, new energy efficient appliances, stainless steel fixtures and, of course, granite countertops. Great room and informal dining areas each have raised tray ceilings and access to the lanai/pool deck through sliding glass doors. A wet bar with an icemaker and storage is centrally located in the living area with a passthru to the lanai. Large neutral tile is set on the diagonal throughout the home; new carpeting in the bedrooms. Bathrooms have each been updated with new fixtures and are tastefully decorated. The split floorplan affords privacy to the owners' suite, separated from the guest quarters by the living area. The self-cleaning pool was redone along with the cage courtesy of Charlie. The separate hot tub for thosecooler nights also conveys! And the yard! Lush tropical landscaping abounds including a very productive grapefruit tree in the back yard. Hurricane shutters, hurricane rated garage door and a new roof were also installed in 2004. An oversized dock witha 20K lift (yes, that's two-oh K), big-boat electrical power and fresh water are installed waterside fronting on a large turning basin. All this (and more!) and only 12-15 minutes from open water! Must see! Priced to sell!
