The red brick home has an attached carport with architectural concrete screening. It has beautiful polished terrazzo floors to keep you cool in the summers. The spacious lanai (added in 2010) allows you to enjoy those warm Florida winters. The kitchen was renovated to maximize counter space and to create an open floor plan, giving the house a spacious feel and offering a breakfast bar as additional seating area.
