Welcome to the unicorn of the neighborhood! This well cared for pool home envelops you with its warm hardwood floors and wood accents throughout.

Here, there’s a space for everything in your new home. The front bedroom has incredible built-ins well suited for an office or crafting room. The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight. An extended bar top keeps your guests close while you outdo yourself setting up a holiday buffet on the mile long counter top. When you’re cleaning up, you can regain your sense of calm while you wash dishes, enjoying the view out over the pool. The cook in the family will appreciate the wide pantry, newer SS appliances and granite countertops. For additional dining choices, head into the formal dining room or the relaxed breakfast nook. If those pesky guests stay a little too long, at least there’s a split floor plan to keep them at bay so you can grab that morning coffee. Storage/linen closets are scattered throughout, keeping everything out of sight, but close at hand. This home has one of the rare private pools in the community with a spacious deck and screen cage. A combination of mulched flower beds, manicured grass and mature trees makes the backyard feel peaceful and private.
