The resort-style PebbleTec pool has been beautifully updated with new tile and is complemented by a newer heater and pump, a freshly rescreened enclosure, and PVC fencing, offering the perfect backdrop for entertaining, relaxation, and unforgettable Florida sunsets. Homes of this caliber, on lots of this size and privacy, are exceptionally rare. Combining enduring Mediterranean elegance, extensive modern upgrades, and an unparalleled location near the Gulf's pristine beaches, private clubs, fine dining, boutique shopping, and premier coastal amenities, this is more than a home—it is a lifestyle reserved for the fortunate few.
