Additional improvements include a new pool pump motor in 2024 and garage door motor, springs, and chain replaced in 2025. Step outside and you'll see what truly sets this home apart--a spacious backyard featuring a beautiful in-ground pool that has been professionally maintained, perfect for cooling off on warm Florida days or entertaining friends and family. There's even an outdoor shower for added convenience after a swim or a day at the beach. Need space for your toys?
