The HVAC and ductwork are all new! The home was replumbed. New electrical panel and wiring throughout. Numerous can lights, light fixtures, and ceiling fans. There is a tankless water heater with a manifold system. All windows and doors are IMPACT RESISTANT. The pool and pool deck were resurfaced and the cage was built to the highest standards and screened with pet-resistant screening. The front entryway was enclosed and screened with the same screening. The home, lanai, and garage have a whole-house speaker system. The owner is a Licensed Florida Realtor.
