The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a large refrigerator, a 5 burner gas stove, a wall oven and a separate warming drawer. A large window over the sink looks out on the private, verdant back yard.

An enclosed front yard space features multiple comfortable seating options, and the trickling fountain will help melt away all stress.
The private back yard is completely fenced and boasts a hot tub, propane BBQ grill, a dining table and various patio seating options connected by a stone path.
