The opulent primary suite, strategically located at the back of the home for maximum views, includes a cozy fireplace, dual walk-in closets, a stand-alone soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and dual sinks with a vanity area. Relax and unwind in the resort-inspired backyard featuring a low-maintenance in-ground spool and stunning views of the golf course and mountains. Additional highlights include newer tile flooring, plantation shutters, and an attached two-car garage with additional space for a golf cart. Residents of The Citrus Club enjoy an array of amenities, including a Bocce Ball Court, Clubhouse, gym, and scenic lakes and ponds.
