The primary suite adds custom walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath, and a private balcony overlooking the water. Outside, a sparkling pool, travertine patio, screened lanai, and a 20×20 pergola with motorized sun and bug screens set the tone for long afternoons at home. Resort-style amenities complete the day.

Surrounded by 4.75 acres in Homestead, this private retreat pairs an easy, open layout with thoughtful everyday comforts.

In the family room, French doors extend the living space outdoors to a covered patio—ideal for quiet mornings or casual gatherings. A flex room/office adds welcome versatility, and the primary suite offers a calm reset with dual sinks and a tub/shower.
