The heart of the home for gatherings of friends and family is the incredible state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with center island, professional gas range, two dishwashers, trendy farm sink and second vegetable sink, inlaid tile backsplash, custom designed pendant lights, and an eating area. The open floor plan extends into the warm large family room boasting high beamed ceilings, oversized whimsical fan, and fireplace. Abundant light graces the kitchen and family room from the wall of glass doors opening to the relaxing wrap-around balcony overlooking the immense pool and spa with arching fountains and waterfall. A sunny ensuite bedroom and a second bedroom are on the first floor along with an exquisite powder room. Enjoy the luxurious upstairs primary suite boasting a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and elegant marble bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub with jets, separate shower, and crystal chandelier. A study/office with a balcony, a bedroom with two closets and attractive bath complete the upstairs.

The outdoor living spaces abound including a large pergola covered patio poolside, a relaxing spa patio, a covered cabana, a pool bathroom, and a delightful rose covered pergola dining patio in the rear yard set among the English gardens and walkways. The separate cottage with kitchen, bath, and attached 400 sf studio offers the many options of a work-from-home office, rental income, aging parents or adult children quarters.
