Classic details like ceramic tile and hardwood floors create a continuous flow throughout the home which features a one-car garage with wide driveway, newer appliances, updated plumbing lines, fixtures and electrical panels. At the heart of the home is an expansive courtyard-style resort pool with a newer pergola and offers complete privacy by the custom concrete fence. The kitchen features a large center island that flows right into the dining room. The bedrooms and bathrooms have custom features with the bedrooms offering access to the outdoor areas.
