Boasting the community's largest floor plan with nearly 3,000 square feet, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers a blend of luxury and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings create an open, airy feel, while the expansive gourmet kitchen with a large center island flows seamlessly into the light-filled great room—perfect for entertaining family and friends.

The pool features customizable fountain timer settings to suit your daily rhythm, as well as an integrated internal lamp that beautifully illuminates the water at dark, creating an enchanting atmosphere for evening poolside dinners. Beyond the home, enjoy true low-maintenance living with a comprehensive HOA that covers lawn care, landscaping, pest control, and the irrigation system in a quiet, beautifully manicured neighborhood.
