The real magic begins outdoors in the resort-style backyard designed for relaxation and entertainment. Plunge into the sparkling saltwater pool (new in 2021), featuring two Baja shelves and swim-up seating. Unwind under a stylish pergola with misting system, dine al fresco, or gather around the wood-burning fire pit. Surrounded by mature landscaping and illuminated by charming bistro lights, this outdoor retreat also boasts travertine decking, artificial turf, and a semi-circle barbecue and bar areaperfect for hosting unforgettable evenings under the stars.

The backyard extends to the private casita, built in 2018, complete with its own entrance, kitchenette, and full bath. Whether you use it as a guest suite, pool house, teen retreat, or multigenerational living space, the possibilities are endless.

Practical features include newer HVAC units (2017, 2018, 2024), energy-efficient dual-pane windows, and a spacious three-car garage with ample storage.
