Welcome home! This lovely, bright Villa Serena home (3BDR/2BA) is the most popular model in prestigious Gate 11 and boasts a flowing, functional, and open floorplan that affords privacy, natural lighting, and greenery soothing to the eyes throughout from each room. As you enter through the front gate, you will see a beautiful brick courtyard tastefully landscaped with diverse flowers and mature plants. The back of the home has a spacious patio, accessed through sliding doors from the living, dining, and master bedrooms. What a perfect outdoor environment to entertain family and friends or enjoy your morning coffee!

The living room is expansive with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcase.

With a central air/heating system, this lovely home also has double-paned windows/sliding doors, skylights, smooth ceilings, and a separate laundry room with washer/dryer. In 2023, the home was repainted throughout and luxury, modern, waterproof vinyl flooring was installed in most of the home.
