All four bedrooms are positioned along the back of the home with private sliding-door access to the patio. The split-floor-plan design offers a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath on one wing, while a private guest suite with its own bath occupies the opposite side. Eight-foot doors throughout further enhance the home's spacious feel. Step outside to your own private resort.
