Skylights flood the sitting room with warm natural light, while the large entertaining room complete with a private entrance off the carport and a spacious closet functions beautifully as a fourth bedroom or guest suite.The back yard is an entertainer's canvas: a covered patio, raised planters with established trees, and a generous entertaining area finished in interlocking pavers.
