A dedicated office on the main level allows the home to live as a single story, while three upstairs bedrooms offer privacy for family and guests. A three-car garage and expansive driveway offer abundant parking. Outside, the property stands apart. This isn't simply a backyard, but a curated landscape that feels alive in every season. Winding garden paths showcase more than 35 species of mature trees, including live oaks, sycamores, elms, and maples, while more than 50 varieties of native flowers and shrubs ensure something is always in bloom, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and songbirds throughout the year. Gather on the 300-square-foot patio, relax by the pool, or spend evenings around the fire pit. The expansive lawn offers space for games and outdoor entertaining, while the thriving vegetable garden produces tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. A greenhouse, raised garden beds, and a 10,000-gallon rainwater collection system support a lifestyle that's as sustainable as it is beautiful.
