Living spaces flow effortlessly from kitchen to dining room to the inviting family room surrounded by serene mountain views and warmed by a second fireplace with window seats. Sliding glass doors from dining & living spaces blur lines between inside and out to sprawling grounds upgraded with warm pavers and lush, low maintenance turf. Whether you’re hosting at the built-in BBQ/bar or relaxing under one of the covered patios or playing a game of corn hole or croquet, the views steal the show. And if gardening delights, citrus trees & a dedicated garden area awaits your personal touch.
