The spacious primary suite functions as a spa-like retreat with a jetted tub, separate dual-seat shower, dual sinks, and a linen closet. The large kitchen is light and bright, updated with stainless steel appliances, a granite-top island, a gas range, abundant storage, and flows openly into the dining room. Step outside to your resort-style outdoor living area featuring a newly painted pool deck, a sparkling pool, and a jetted spa with a cascading waterfall under a birdcage screen.
