Further enhancing the home’s potential, the seller has completed and paid for architectural design and installation planning of a custom pool and outdoor expansion. The thoughtfully curated concept allows the next owner to seamlessly execute a resort-caliber backyard vision, with renderings available to illustrate the design intent. A main-level guest suite provides privacy and convenience, while the upper level reveals spacious, light-filled secondary bedrooms, pristine baths, and a large bonus room ready to adapt to your lifestyle.
