Enter through the lovely iron gate (a unique feature of every home in this subdivision) and be greeted by the elegant entrance door that opens to the pool area and hear the sounds of a cascading waterfall. To the left, the sliding doors open and pocket up entirely bringing the outside in; perfect for entertaining. Upon entering the main door of the home, notice the open kitchen/dining/living room concept, with cathedral ceilings and great pool views. From the living room, look over the waterfall at the palm trees, sky and beautiful composition of tile roofs of the adjacent properties. Your courtyard home is very private, yet also open and beautiful! The kitchen will be a delight for the gourmet cook boasting a gas cooking stove, stainless steel appliances, ample solid wood cabinetry and a perfectly sized island. To the right, please find the generously sized master bedroom with walk-in closets, a large en-suite bath with oversized shower and plantation shutters. Wake up and go from your bed to the pool through beautiful French doors. Washing in the laundry room will be a pleasure, for it is a complete room with a sink, cabinetry and a window to the outside. Your guests will enjoy the privacy of the split bedroom design with the guest bedroom on the other side of the house. This large bedroom has a walk-in closet and a convenient adjoining bath. A comfortable "Casita" or cabana, office, flex room or second guest bedroom (whatever you wish it to be) stands separate from the main house. It has a large room and a lovely en-suite bath and opens up to the pool area (your guests will love it!). Last but not least, a door to the right of the pool leads to your own little serenity garden (a wonderful herb garden). A place of peace and quiet yet close to it all!
