About This Home

As of August 2019

Gorgeous colonial set back off Summer Avenue. If you are looking for a private oasis for entertaining or relaxing this is your home. Short distance to an elementary school and ten minutes to Parker Middle School. Outdoors there's a complete professional kitchen built into granite counters with an island and dining area ensconced in a rotunda. On the other side is a comfortable outdoor living room and all is nestled under a protective roof with skylights. Rain will not stop the entertainment. A low maintenance fiberglass swimming pool and plenty of fenced in yard complete the private outdoor area. Inside there are a number of places to sit, watch a movie in the theater or play pool in the billiard room. There is a fully equipped commercial quality gym and large office with conference area and custom woodwork. Many extras including exotic hardwood floors, whole house vac, well, 15 zone irrigation, built in Sonos and much more.
