Food preparation utensils and dining service for 8 are provided.

A screened lanai with a heated pool (with a safety fence for young children), "grillhaus" and lounge chairs are adjacent to the living room through French doors. The large yard is surrounded by trees on the west, north and east sides providing wonderful privacy.

The sunroom is a perfect location to enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. It is surrounded by glass windows on three sides. This space doubles as game room, with foosball table, many family board games and puzzles available for your leisure time enjoyment.

There is a carport, single large vehicle-sized. There is also a secure 26’ x 24’ garage which is optionally available for parking upon request for an additional fee.
