Two additional lovely bedrooms have their own full baths, with one boasting a Juliet balcony. This well-appointed custom home topped with a red tile roof and surrounded by swaying palms, provides an ideal combination of entertaining and quiet spaces, sited in a wonderful neighborhood just steps to Sand Dune Park and Grandview Elementary School.
