Covered patios and loggias extend from the most major rooms, creating ideal space for relaxation and enjoyment. A detached oversized 3 car garage with a covered walkway to the main residence has excessive space for storage or workshop activity. Step into the expanded screened outdoor room, complete with double TVs and the largest Wolf outdoor gas grill available and a Subzero refrigerator. The Chicago brick flooring adds style and durability. The free form dream pool, paved in Chicago brick, is a haven for leisure and outdoor entertainment. Subdivide the lot for an additional building lot that has it’s own private gated entry in place or use a portion of the expansive lot to build your guest house, tennis court, or pickleball court – the possibilities are endless. The home is equipped with a brand-new whole house generator. Specimen trees, lush landscaping, and ancient oaks frame the home, creating a stunning natural backdrop for your daily life.
