The inviting family room features a corner fireplace with cast-stone mantle, generous windows, and French doors leading to the wrap-around covered porch. The opposing wing includes the primary bedroom retreat with spa-like bath featuring double vanities, whirlpool tub, separate shower and two walk-in closets.

The second floor is accessed by the front or back stairs and has an open landing with four large bedrooms and four en suite baths with large walk-in closets. The third-floor flex space could serve as a rec room, exercise or media room. The veranda spans the back of the house and includes a fireplace with stunning views of the pool and private backyard with mature landscaping. The circular driveway includes a slate arrival court with ample parking and easy access to the side porch and 2-car garage. Excellent schools and wonderful neighbors -- it's all here.
