The front room of the home can be used as a bonus room or party room as it features a bar and stools and wall-to-wall bay windows! Off to the right of that is a quaint porch with an outside sitting area. The bedrooms are large and each has an ensuite. One is a step-in shower and the other is a shower/bath combo. There are "his and hers" sinks/vanities with separate make-up and hair stations. Tons of closets and cupboards for storage inside the home, and a huge attached shed with more storage and a washer/dryer.The lanai provides yet another sitting area, or opportunity for more storage.
