Floor-by-Floor Description
The First Floor is designed for effortless living and large-scale entertaining. The Primary Suite serves as a private oasis, featuring a king bed, a cozy gas fireplace, a whirlpool tub, and dual walk-in closets. Two additional large guest bedrooms on this level each feature queen beds and share a full bathroom. The heart of the home is the kitchen, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, dual sinks, an air fryer oven, and two refrigerators (one in the garage). Host memorable meals in the formal dining room, which seats 16, or the great room dining area, which seats an additional 14. Outside, the massive open-air deck and screened porch provide seating for 20, perfect for sunset BBQs on the gas grill.
The Second Floor offers a second Primary Suite with a king bed and private bath. Two more guest bedrooms are connected by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom—one featuring a queen and an extra-long single bed, and the other with two twins and a toddler bed. The seventh bedroom doubles as a massive entertainment hub, featuring three sets of bunk beds, a full-size pool table, electric recliners, and a gaming area.
