The open living and kitchen area features white shaker cabinetry, white countertops, a marble-look tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are bright with dual windows in one and a canal view from the other, and the bathroom has been redone with a tiled walk-in shower, mosaic tile floor and a stone-topped vanity. Sliding glass doors lead from the kitchen to a tiled Florida room wrapped in windows overlooking the yard and canal. Outside, a walkway crosses the deep backyard to a concrete patio along the seawall, shaded by a mature tree. A carport with a storage room completes the exterior.
