Spanning over 2 ACRES, this incredible estate welcomes you with security, flexibility, and freedom from the moment you arrive. With ample parking for guests, gatherings, toys, or hobbies-this is a homestead designed to live large. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtful, generous open layout and and split floorplan featuring TWO MASSIVE PRIMARY SUITES, ideal for multigenerational living or hosting long-term guests in comfort. One of the suites even feels like a private retreat with a luxurious jetted garden tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. BONUS: each Primary suite opens to the screened in patio so enjoying the sunshine by the pool first thing in the morning couldn't be any easier! The heart of the home is built for connection and entertaining, highlighted by a generously-sized kitchen with beautiful granite countertops, warm wood cabinets, plenty of storage and a gas-powered stove. The functional wet bar off the living room and open gathering spaces flow naturally for hosting everything from casual evenings to lively celebrations. Step outside and the property truly unfolds into its own private sanctuary. A glimmering, elegant SALTWATER POOL complete with child safety latch gates anchors the outdoor living space, inviting relaxation under the sun or stars. The large wraparound screened-in patio overlooks the pool, creating the perfect year-round retreat.

Over 20 mature Washingtonian palms dot the backyard, offering natural shade and a resort-like feel-perfect for hammocks, quiet afternoons, or gathering with friends. Gardeners and homesteaders will appreciate the 16x12 climate and humidity-controlled GREENHOUSE, complete with a giant swamp cooler, ready for orchids, vegetables, or year-round growing of whatever you choose. A chicken coop adds a charming, functional touch to the ample estate. Rounding out the outside attractions is a 20x20 block workshop ideal for creators, tinkerers and anyone in between. The roof is only 3 years old, offering peace of mind for years to come. Last but certainly not least, although the attic is unfinished, the space has the potential and size to be made into a Bonus room should the new Buyer have the need to expand.
