Beyond the front courtyard gate, the home's oversized pie-shaped lot unfolds into a beautifully private backyard that feels like an enchanted garden retreat. Lush landscaping, mature greenery, and a tranquil hillside backdrop create a serene outdoor setting that is both captivating and peaceful - ideal for morning coffee, relaxed entertaining, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze. Yard space of this size and privacy is a rare offering within Richmond Pointe. Inside, tall ceilings and abundant windows create a bright, airy atmosphere that makes the home feel larger than expected. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout (no carpet!), complemented by neutral designer paint and an easy single-level layout. The kitchen features upgraded white cabinetry, solid slab stone countertops, matching white appliances, and a charming breakfast nook.
