A thoughtfully positioned laundry room/pantry, complete with washer, dryer, and generous storage, add everyday convenience. The spectacular primary suite is a retreat unto itself, featuring a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, a wall of windows, and direct access to the pool. The full primary bath includes a bidet, too. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms are complemented by a vintage tiled full bath with a separate stall shower and soaking tub. Multiple decks in the front and rear invite you to take in the sweeping vistas-some of the most impressive views on the hill.
