This two-bedroom, two-bath gem effortlessly blends whimsy with warmth. Inside, recent updates bring fresh life to its character, while a raised ceiling in the living area adds volume and light. Adding to its timeless appeal are the Pecky Cypress walls - a rare Old Florida detail that infuses warmth, texture, and both a rustic and refined feel throughout. Out back, an enchanting outbuilding awaits— an above-garage air-conditioned bonus room makes perfect artist’s studio, garden retreat, or creative bonus space.
