Go down one level to find another family room with TV, storage space and an exercise room with pool table. The house is climate-controlled by four separate gas heating /AC zones. The garage provides ample room for two cars, lawn equipment and walk-up large storage area. Whole house generator completes this amazing property.
In addition to pool and patio, the backyard of this house is surrounded by mature trees that provide shade and privacy.
