Open concept living room with high vaulted ceiling and skylights faces the enclosed front courtyard, making a great indoor-outdoor flow. A large Smart TV with streaming options and a wood burning fireplace are part of a large wall of built-in shelves. A comfy sofa with chaise and nearby armchairs are a great place to settle in for a movie or conversation. Beautifully finished wood floors glow and area rugs further warm the space visually.
A detached bonus room is located in the backyard. It has a large wall-mounted Smart TV, a cushy sofa and ottoman as well as a desk space.
The home has several Smart features like Google TVs, remote controlled outdoor fountain, key-less entry, reliable, speedy Starlink internet and solar power with 2 Tesla power walls providing consistent power for days if a winter storm blows through the area.

Kitchen and Dining
The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a large refrigerator, a 5 burner gas stove, a wall oven and a separate warming drawer. A large window over the sink looks out on the private, verdant back yard.

The Great Outdoors
An enclosed front yard space features multiple comfortable seating options, a fire pit and the trickling fountain will help melt away all stress.
The private back yard is completely fenced and boasts a hot tub, propane BBQ grill, a dining table and various patio seating options connected by a stone path.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is a suite with a king bed, a twin day bed and a Smart TV viewable from either bed. The room features high ceilings, skylights, a four-poster bed and direct access to the back yard and patio with a hot tub.
The en suite bathroom has a decadent deep soaking tub with a view of the garden, a separate standing shower with smooth stones and custom tile, and two vessel sinks at the large vanity.

Bedroom #2 has a queen bed and a desk and chair.

Bedroom #3 has a twin daybed with a pull out trundle which can be made up as one or two singles. An ingenious fold-down desk with driftwood legs and a bespoke driftwood light fixture add to the beachy vibe.

A large closet near the bedrooms holds the full size washer and dryer.
