There is a third full bathroom downstairs as well as an optional 5th bedroom for guests while still having enough space for a gym, play area, or second office! Outside the stone back patio looks out to the gorgeous view of open space, not looking into the back of other homes, and the lovely flat back yard has underground electric fencing for your pets.
