Beyond the great room, a set of double doors leads to a refined home office, featuring a bay window with serene views of the rear yard, ideal for productivity and inspiration.

A retractable pool cover ensures added safety, while premium Pentair equipment with remote operation delivers effortless maintenance. The outdoor area is enhanced by a beautifully designed patio with an outdoor fireplace, creating the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Before heading upstairs, explore the sophisticated dining room, where elegant white wainscoting adds a touch of timeless elegance. A secondary staircase off the family room leads to the upper level, which overlooks both the foyer and great room. The second story features four generously sized bedrooms, each bedroom offering a private en-suite bath for ultimate comfort and privacy. The expansive primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, complete with a cozy sitting area and spacious walk-in closets. The en-suite bathroom is a true showpiece, featuring a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and ample space to add a vanity island.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
