Kitchen Designed for Hospitality
The kitchen is both beautiful and useful—anchored by a generous island with an eating bar and complemented by a spacious walk-in pantry. 4
Breathe Easy: Screened Porch with Fireplace
Step out to a cozy, bug-free haven where a fireplace transforms the screened porch into an all-season sanctuary—perfect for gatherings that bridge indoors and out. 5

Behind the garage lies the master suite—total privacy paired with a cleverly designed his-and-her bathroom layout featuring a custom dual-head shower. It’s smart, serene, and personal. 6
Guest Bedrooms & Shared Bath Setup
Two additional bedrooms sit across the home, sharing a compartmentalized bathroom that keeps peace (and schedules) intact. 7
