The centrally located KITCHEN includes MODERN APPLIANCES, AMPLE CABINETRY, EXTENSIVE COUNTER SPACE, and a BREAKFAST BAR, making it ideal for hosting and daily function. A FIRST-FLOOR GUEST SUITE WITH A FULL BATH adds flexibility, and the bath offers DIRECT ACCESS TO THE POOL AREA, a major convenience for guests; plus, a DEDICATED OFFICE WITH FRENCH DOORS supports remote work, property management, or flex use.
