The step-down family room with natural open-beam ceilings is large and cozy and overlooks the backyard. Bedrooms are spacious and serene, featuring hardwood floors and ample closet space. Outside, the premium-sized lot offers a private backyard retreat with a pergola-covered patio, sparkling solar-heated pool, lush landscaping, and plenty of room to relax, entertain, or garden-your own personal oasis.
