Toward the back of the house, you'll find a queen bedroom with an ensuite bath, another queen bedroom, and an office/guest room with a daybed and trundle.

The front of the house opens into a bright, open-concept living area with a fully stocked kitchen, L-shaped prep bar, dining area, Smart TV, and two plush sofas. A floor-to-ceiling wall of windows lets in plenty of light and frames stunning views. Step out onto the wraparound deck for morning coffee or al fresco dining.
