The kitchen flows to a covered back porch with gas grill, overlooking an elegant courtyard with fountain and vibrant gardens—perfect for entertaining. Additional highlights include dedicated off-street parking, a two-car detached garage with epoxy floors and a charming 1BR/1 bath carriage house above. The expansive and versatile floor plan offers endless possibilities. The current owners have curated spaces including a music room, fitness studio, artist’s studio, and multiple formal entertaining rooms.
