The backyard is an entertainer’s dream with a sparkling saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen/BBQ island, paver patio, gazebo on the pool deck, and mature citrus trees—all framed by updated fencing (approx. 4 years old). A front courtyard adds extra outdoor living space, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. An above-ground spa is also available (negotiable). Additional highlights include leased solar for energy efficiency, an oversized driveway that accommodates up to 4 vehicles, plus garage space for parking and/or storage.
