The home includes a recently refurbished pool and spa, alfresco dining areas, and a luxurious primary suite with a private deck, creating a comprehensive retreat atmosphere.
With only 3 bedrooms across 3,339 square feet, the layout may be less functional for larger families or buyers requiring more dedicated sleeping quarters.
