French doors from the formal living room open directly to the patio and screened pool area.

The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas range, convection oven, island with wine storage, breakfast bar, workstation and two pantries. Three sets of French doors open this space to the patio and screened pool area. Together with outdoor access from the formal living room and primary bedroom, the layout creates a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living. The family room also features a gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Upstairs are two bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bath and a large open landing offering additional flexible living space. Currently used as an art studio and artist's corner, it could also serve as a reading nook, sitting area, playroom or additional flex space. The large covered balcony is enclosed within the screened pool structure and overlooks the pool, marsh/conservation land and St. Andrews Bay.

Outdoor living is a highlight, with a private in-ground gunite pool with gas heat, screened enclosure, covered patio, outdoor shower and half bath. Mature live oaks, palms and lush landscaping enhance the peaceful setting. An additional covered parking area adjacent to the 3-car garage can also serve as covered outdoor living space when not needed for vehicles.
