The espresso, raised panel cabinets compliment the granite slab counters and the kitchen sink gives you the perfect view to the pool in your backyard. The family room is off the kitchen has a gas fireplace with tile surround and wood mantel/trim, giving the room warmth. Heading upstairs, you'll love the contrast of the white risers and railings which gracefully offset the black handrail and wood steps - each riser includes a different carved characteristic, enhanced by LED lighting. It's here you'll find the four bedrooms and a loft. The loft gives up so many options! Homeschool room? Game room? Theater room (...it's wired for surround)? Playroom? Workout room? Use your imagination, but we promise, you'll never know what you did without this room! The master retreat includes a private balcony overlooking the backyard for quiet mornings or evening with a cup of coffee or wine. There's a white barn door separating the bedroom from the bathroom. Behind the barn door you'l find his and her sinks and a beautiful remodeled shower with dual shower heads, white subway tile, alcoves for shampoo/conditioner and a shiplap accent surrounding the enclosure. Sharing the remaining bathroom are the additional three bedrooms. So there's less squabbling, you have double sinks AND a separate door leading to the shower/tub and toilet. Mornings won't be as rushed when everyone can get ready at the same time. For convenience, the separate laundry room is upstairs so you won't have to haul the clothes up and down the stairs! The private backyard has artificial turf for year-round green and easy maintenance. The refreshing pool, with Shamu shelf and water feature, will get used for at least 6 months every year. You also have an extra wide side yard, adding distance between neighbors and giving you the ideal location to store bikes, lawn tools or to add a shed that is below the fence line.
