Retractable shades provide year-round comfort, while the oversized BBQ island—with seating for eight—sets the stage for effortless entertaining. Beyond, the resort-style backyard features a sparkling pool and spa, firepit, and sweeping views that create a sense of total escape. Inside, refined finishes and thoughtful upgrades enhance every space. Highlights include vaulted ceilings, three interior fireplaces, plantation shutters, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring with upgraded baseboards, premium cabinetry with quartz countertops, custom closets, and built-in features such as a charming dining nook and wine bar.

Additional upgrades include a new roof (May 2025), a remodeled kitchen (2023), whole-home soft water system, dual-zone air conditioning, and the added benefit of no Mello-Roos.
