Inside, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors and an open-concept layout seamlessly connect the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Large windows fill the home with natural light while offering views of both the landscaped front yard and the spectacular backyard retreat. The spacious kitchen is designed for gathering and entertaining, featuring natural stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a statement range hood, and a large center island with seating and ample storage. Step outside to experience what truly sets this property apart. The saltwater pool and spa are surrounded by hand-selected stonework and custom landscaping. Built for entertaining, the backyard features a covered patio, painted concrete dance floor, basketball hoop, and space for pickleball or tennis. A custom-built treehouse with spiral staircase, charming swing set, gazebo-style seating area, and multiple lounge spaces create a backyard paradise you won't soon forget.

Additional highlights include solar panels, EV charging, tankless water heater, updated electrical panel, central HVAC, and laundry hookups.
