The flexible layout includes a remodeled primary suite on the upper level with ensuite bath. The entry level hosts three additional bedrooms, laundry, and secondary living room opening to a lanai with ocean views. Split air conditioning throughout. Turnkey is furnished with two king beds, one queen and two twin beds. A detached 1,000 sq. ft. garage includes two-car bay and air-conditioned workshop.
