The kitchen flows seamlessly into the casual living areas,making it the perfect hub for holiday hosting or quiet weeknight dinners. All appliances will stay in the home. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms,there is plenty of room for a growing family,multi-generational living,or a dedicated home office. Your private retreat features dual walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bathroom equipped with a soaking tub,separate shower,and double vanities. Step outside and dive into your private,screened-in pool,featuring a spacious deck area for lounging and dining.
