The spacious living room centers around a cozy fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating the perfect environment for entertaining.

This spacious retreat features a tray ceiling, crown molding, walk-in closet with custom shelving, and beautiful views overlooking blooming rose bushes. The luxurious ensuite bath offers dual vanities, a garden tub, separate shower, and private water closet.
