The main-level laundry room has been modernized to include new GE appliances. Luxury vinyl flooring and custom trim complete the sun-drenched spaces. Have peace of mind with a property in the AE flood zone that offers a new metal roof, new cement board siding, and new impact windows and doors. There is plenty of parking under the home, and the 12 x 12 workshop on the ground level is excellent for storing all of your water toys, boating gear, and hobbies. Your Keys Life awaits!
