This fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom property offers 1,296 square feet of recently updated living space in the peaceful Bahia Oaks neighborhood, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac with no through-traffic. From top to bottom, everything has been refreshed. A brand-new 3-ton AC keeps things cool, while new flooring flows throughout the entire home. The open-concept living space connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, ideal for entertaining or easy everyday living. The kitchen is a standout with stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash, center island with breakfast bar seating, and generous cabinet and counter space. The dining area is nicely sized and features a new light fixture, creating a welcoming space to gather. The primary suite offers comfort and style with a walk-in closet and an updated en-suite bathroom that includes dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and all-new fixtures. The secondary bathroom mirrors this attention to detail with its sliding glass tub/shower combo, new vanity, and ample counter and storage space. Practical features continue with a dedicated laundry room and a garage outfitted with built-in shelving. Out back, enjoy year-round living in the large enclosed lanai with ceiling fan, or unwind on the covered patio complete with a paver extension that leads to a wood-fire oven, all shaded by a canopy and perfect for casual outdoor gatherings. The open backyard offers space to garden, relax, or just enjoy the Florida sun. An attached storage/workshop area-with power, lighting, and ceiling fan-adds flexible bonus space for hobbies, crafting, or storage.
