The 2,364-square-foot floor plan offers exceptional versatility, featuring a downstairs room adaptable as a media room or guest suite, an upstairs loft/office area, and an oversized primary retreat.
Situated on a generous 12,000-square-foot lot, the property boasts a beautifully landscaped backyard with a large covered patio and dedicated spa area, ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
