Tropical retreat in the heart of Maximo!!! This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,574 sq ft blends comfort, style, and thoughtful updates throughout. The split-bedroom design offers privacy, with a spacious owner’s suite on one side and two additional bedrooms with a full bath on the other. The heart of the home is its open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen shines with a glass counter breakfast bar, modern finishes, and warm wood accents that create a sleek yet inviting atmosphere. Natural light floods the space through new hurricane-impact windows (2023), giving the home a bright, airy feel. Step through double glass doors into your very own private tropical oasis.
