Entertaining or relaxing outside has never been easier or more enjoyable. Inside, the custom kitchen and family room are extraordinary, featuring polished stone countertops, custom cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and French doors from both the family room and dining room that open directly onto the deck. The main bathroom is a true showstopper-designed to feel like a high-end spa with elegant finishes and thoughtful details. Every room reflects quality craftsmanship, from the stone fireplace in the living room to the tray ceiling in the upstairs bedroom and the second-floor balcony overlooking the pool. Additional luxury continues with the finished two-car garage complete with heat and air. Even during a storm, you'll stay comfortable and secure with your own home generator.
