A spacious kitchen anchors the main living area, while oversized windows frame stunning water views and fill the space with natural light. A dedicated sunroom provides a peaceful retreat overlooking the canal--perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets, and enjoy a toasty fireplace in the off season.

Outdoor living is where this property truly shines.
