This party room has a wet bar, comes with a pool table and has multiple french doors that lead to the covered porch and also to the sky deck. This viewing deck offers both covered and uncovered spaces, a fireplace with raised hearth, and mountain views. Designed for easy flow living, the great room to dining spaces all open to the interior courtyard or backyard, with it's pool and waterfall spa, covered loggia with a custom limestone wall fireplace, mature landscape, privacy and serenity.
