Discover the Master Bedroom on the upper level with its king bed flanked by bedside tables. Wind down to sleep watching the 42" Visio smart TV. Store your belongings in the dresser, closet, and on the provided luggage rack. You’ll love the convenience of the ensuite bathroom with double-sink vanity, tub/shower combo, and all bathroom essentials, such as hair dryer, towels, and toiletries.
You’ll find the Queen Bedroom on the main level with its queen bed, sumptuous linens, and bedside table. You’ll have a dresser, closet, and luggage rack for storage. Lull yourself to sleep watching the 36” Vizio smart TV. Enjoy the ensuite bathroom with double-sink vanity, tub/shower combo, and all bathroom essentials.
Should you need additional sleeping accommodations, you’ll find a pull-out queen sofa bed on the lower level with a 56” smart TV and full bathroom (tub/shower combo) nearby and storage in the form of a closet and trunk. When not in use for sleeping, this area is a sweet spot for lounging and watching TV.
Once you’re settled in, head back to the family room and relax on ample, comfy leather seating in the warmth of the gas fireplace tucked into a unique rock wall. Take in the soaring ceiling, flood of natural light, and open-concept floorplan. Watch your favorite shows, movies, and sports on the 65" Vizio smart. TV, accessing host-provided Netflix and YouTube, along with many other viewing options.
You can also enjoy the loft space above the family room, with its open space and comfortable seating. You’ll find the loft the perfect spot for remote work with its desk and chair.
Head outside to explore the outdoor amenities, including the large back porch with gas grill, dining seating, and rockers for relaxing. Enjoy the yard, view, and screened breezeway. Kids and dogs will love romping in large rear yard with no neighbors behind the home. In the evening, laugh, tell stories, and make memories, as you gather the family around the firepit.
Grab a hot or cold beverage and sip it peacefully on the front porch as you watch the world go by on the private, "neighbors only" street.
Back inside, enjoy a game of darts or ping-pong in the game/fitness room on the lower level. Or work out on the elliptical machine.
At mealtime, prep and cook your best culinary creations in the fully equipped kitchen with all the standard major appliances –refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher. You’ll find plenty of prep space on the countertops, along with all the cookware, bakeware, dishware, flatware, glassware, serving-ware, and utensils you need to prepare and serve your favorite meals.
Steps away from the kitchen, dine in the dining area at the table for 6. Or dine al fresco at the table for 4 on the back porch, where you’ll also find the gas grill.
