Authentic oak floors extend throughout most of the home, complemented by custom detailed millwork throughout. Substantial crown molding in every room of the home draws the eye upward, adding depth and a polished, high-end finish to the interior. The layout includes a formal living, dining and great room along with a downstairs office or optional fifth bedroom for guests. A bright Florida room spans the back of the home and opens to outdoor living spaces and a new fire pit, perfect for entertaining. Custom built-ins and cabinetry, thoughtfully designed and crafted by Busby Cabinetry, enhance both beauty and functionality throughout this exceptional home. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the great room and features 42-inch cabinetry, a center island, high-end Thermador stainless steel appliances and exotic granite countertops.
