Framed by custom iron gates and fencing, this retreat boasts unparalleled privacy and serves as one of the most private homes within the development. The heart of this remarkable residence is the chef’s kitchen - a culinary playground outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a custom designer backsplash with a built-in pot filler, and stunning granite countertops. A generous center island and ample cabinetry provide space for both casual breakfasts and gourmet creations. Whether hosting simple dinners or lively gatherings, this kitchen is truly a dream!

After dinner, retreat to the cozy family room to unwind by the fireplace. The high ceilings and sunlit interiors create a seamless flow of warmth and elegance. Step into your own private sanctuary, where the enclosed patio and custom-crafted gazebo create an unrivaled entertainer’s paradise. Designed with gatherings in mind, the outdoor space invites you to relax in expansive seating areas, bask in the warmth of the grand fireplace hearth, or channel your inner chef at the massive outdoor island equipped with a built-in Traeger grill, sink, and BBQ station. Tranquil fountains and outdoor fans add a serene touch, making this space perfect for both intimate evenings and lavish celebrations.
