Outside, a three-car side-entry garage is enhanced by a paver driveway in the front and a patio in the back with an electric awning, overlooking the pool and spa creating the ideal setting for everyday enjoyment and effortless entertaining. Backing to preserved open space within the community, the property is bathed in sunlight throughout the day and offers rare, unobstructed views of the night sky-perfect for peaceful evenings and stargazing from your own backyard.
