The formal living room & dining room make an exceptional place to entertain with a wood-burning fireplace adorned with stone & built-in cabinets as well as a wet bar perfect for mixing up a cocktail. The large kitchen sits adjacent to the spacious family room complete with tray ceiling, 42” white cabinets, breakfast bar, center island, pull-out drawers, built-in oven & microwave, cooking range, decorative backsplash, & closet pantry.

Two can be found down a joining hallway with a built-in desk, a jack-n-jill bathroom & the 4th is set apart from the rest next to the full pool bathroom that can be accessed from the lanai. The laundry room is huge with amazing storage! Cabinets galore, built-in desk, sink, front load washer & dryer & built-in ironing board. AND THE GARAGE! THIS IS A MUST-SEE! This approximate 39’ x 35’ garage is a car lover’s dream! With 4 single door bays, it can hold up to 7 cars tandem. The barn/workshop sits in the rear right of the home & connects by driveway.
