Thick vegetation bordering the perimeter of the property creates a lush, secluded setting for the midcentury, which was treated to a top-down renovation in 2018. French Oak hardwood floors were incorporated throughout the interior, as well as new hurricane-impact windows and doors. The roof was also replaced, along with all of the light fixtures and the dual-zone air conditioning systems.
Inside, black-trimmed windows span the entire length of the living and dining areas, drawing in ample natural light while complementing the surrounding crisp, white walls.
