✨ Interior & Exterior Highlights

Kitchen
A chef’s dream with a five-burner natural gas range, split oven function (cook two dishes at once with different settings), and a farmhouse stainless steel sink. The Samsung French-door refrigerator includes a specialty middle drawer and freezer drawer for easy organization. Just off the kitchen, a stacked 29” LG washer and dryer makes large loads of laundry a breeze.

Primary Bedroom Suite
Retreat into comfort with a plush king-sized bed, dressed in 100% cotton sheets and protected with a moisture-barrier mattress protector. Entertainment is at your fingertips with a 55” Samsung 4K TV with Apple TV, plus a dedicated makeup desk/vanity for convenience.

Bathroom
Stylish and functional, the bathroom features two entrances—one providing ensuite access from the primary bedroom, and the other opening to the hallway for guest convenience. It includes a tub/shower combo, brushed gold fixtures, and a tall elongated toilet for extra comfort.

Loft Bedroom & Study
Follow the dramatic loft-style staircase, tracing your hand along the sleek handrail as you ascend into the top-level retreat. This space includes a secondary workspace with its own desk, chair, and a 24-inch monitor, plus two seating areas for reading or relaxing. The loft bedroom features a plush king-sized bed, also dressed in 100% cotton sheets with a moisture-barrier mattress protector, along with a 60” LG Smart TV with Apple TV. For comfort, this level is equipped with a 1-ton Wi-Fi–enabled inverter mini-split AC unit in addition to central air.

Living Room
Designed for both style and relaxation, the living space features a Restoration Hardware ultra-deep chocolate leather sofa and a matching deep chair, paired with a sleek marble coffee table. Entertainment is easy with the 65” television with Apple TV. A dedicated workstation with a solid wood desk, rolling office chair, 24-inch monitor, and a laser printer makes this a true work-from-home haven. A cozy breakfast table is also tucked by the windows for casual dining.

Dining Room
A perfect blend of chic and playful: the Storehouse dining table is paired with black chairs upholstered in a black-and-gold alligator print cushion. Above, a steampunk-inspired chandelier creates a bold focal point, while the table is fully dressed with placemats and cotton dinner towels.

Outdoor Living
The property offers a private gated entry with deadbolt lock for added peace of mind. Enjoy a yard with comfortable seating, a propane grill for outdoor cooking, and a propane fire pit—perfect for relaxed evenings under the stars.
