Tucked behind, a sizable walk-in pantry with additional fridge ensures no convenience is overlooked, while the adjacent study nook can be repurposed on the fly as your needs evolve. Catch up on family time or your favorite TV shows in the cavernous great room which leads to a covered stone and brick patio where an outdoor kitchen invites year-round cookouts and alfresco cocktail hours. The serene patio is framed by a privacy fence and lush tropical garden with automatic drip system and easy-to-maintain verdant turf, where you can exercise your green thumb or just take it easy and lounge in the sun. With a dedicated entrance and easy access to a second front porch, the bright en suite bedroom is perfect for hosting guests. The lower level is completed by a powder room, 2-bay garage and an additional 1-bay garage with electric car charger.

Also upstairs, a bonus room with wall length built-in shelving, an over-abundance of windows and a large pass-through, can be transformed into a library, office, yoga space or gaming area--possibilities abound. Two generous en suite bedrooms, an additional bathroom, laundry room, hallway with built-in storage cabinets and terraced bedroom complete the floor plan.
