The spacious laundry room features Caesarstone countertops and a utility sink. The beautiful backyard was designed for entertaining, featuring a pergola with automatic shade, Roman fountain, outdoor fireplace, paver sitting area, built-in gas grill, and Big Green Egg. The Carriage House offers an open living area with exposed wood beams, full kitchen, laundry room, and balcony above the two-car garage.
