Set on nearly 1.2 acres, the property feels private and expansive, offering multiple outdoor moments to chase sunrises, sunsets, and incredible views. The layout lives far beyond what you'd expect, with primary-style suites on both the main level and the lower leveleach featuring generous en-suites, large walk-in closets, and the kind of space and privacy that's hard to find. Downstairs, a large flex space adds even more versatilityideal as a media lounge, game room, or creative studio, and easily adaptable to your needssupported by an additional full bathroom and multiple walkouts that spill directly to the pool for a true resort-style rhythm. And when you want even more separation, the newer addition delivers. Designed as a modern extension of the home, it lives like a private casitaperfect as a guest retreat, multigenerational suite, office, game room, or whatever fits your lifestylecomplete with its own full bathroom and multiple exits for added privacy and convenience. A major remodel transformed the home over multiple years with thoughtful, high-impact improvements throughout.
