You'll appreciate the thoughtful design and attention to detail throughout this home, which features a gorgeous open living area with shiplap walls and beamed ceilings. The space centers around the whitewashed brick gas fireplace which is available for guests to use in cooler months. Make yourself comfortable on the large leather sectional and chairs to enjoy your favorite programs on the 50-inch Smart TV.

The remodeled kitchen is simply stunning - featuring a farmhouse sink, leathered granite counters, and stainless appliances - even a wine fridge. You'll find professional cookware, beautiful new bone china, and carefully selected flatware, utensils and plenty of glassware. There's a toaster, blender and a new Bonavita Coffee Maker in the main house, plus a Keurig in the carriage house. An additional refrigerator in the garage is helpful when you're serving a crowd! The open dining area seats up to 8, with room for 3 more at the kitchen island.

CARRIAGE HOUSE:

BEDROOM #4 - King Bedroom with Murphy Bed and ensuite bathroom
The beautifully updated poolside Carriage House offers luxury and privacy with a KING BED and a QUEEN MURPHY BED. We chose this Murphy Bed for our guests because it has a real bed mattress (not like a folding sleeper sofa.) Best of all, you can just step out to the pool and courtyard. It's a perfect spot for couples or even a small family.

There's a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, sink and mini-fridge. And to complete this beautiful space - your own private ensuite bathroom.

Bathroom #3 - Full Bathroom - Carriage House
It's a private ensuite for Carriage House guests - and so convenient when you're spending time by the pool. This bathroom features a large vanity, commode and beautiful walk-in shower.

PRIVATE POOL AND OUTDOOR SPACE:
The private pool is one of the largest in the area -- it's 15' x 31' and surrounded by an expansive stone patio with plenty of seating options. You can lounge by the pool, or find a shady covered spot to read or enjoy your meals at the outdoor dining table. With access from the main house and the carriage house - this space is the perfect gathering spot for your group and the extra tall fence makes it even more private. Home exits to the pool have safety alarms, and pool heat is available for an extra fee.

Grill Masters will appreciate the large built-in grill with extra prep area. It's natural gas - so no running out of propane in the middle of grilling. The covered dining area is perfect for enjoying meals poolside. There's also a separate fenced grass lawn -- a great place for children or dogs to play!
