Let’s start with the backyard. Step outside and soak up the sunshine on the large patio surrounding the sparkling pool. Whether you're grilling up a feast or simply lounging with a good book, the backyard provides ample space for everyone to relax and unwind. Kids will love running around in the expansive yard, perfect for frisbee games or just enjoying the fresh air.

Downstairs, four comfortable bedrooms offer a variety of sleeping options. Two king-sized bedrooms provide a restful retreat for parents or couples. Another room caters to families with a queen bed and a fun twin-over-twin bunk bed. The fourth bedroom offers ultimate flexibility with a queen bed and two sets of full-over-full bunk beds, perfect for slumber parties or larger groups.

Head upstairs for a dedicated entertainment haven in the game room. Complete with pool, foosball, arcade games, and shuffleboard, it promises endless fun for all ages. Two additional bedrooms flank the game room, ensuring privacy for everyone. One provides two queen beds, ideal for families or friends, while the other features a queen bed and a twin for flexible sleeping arrangements.

But the fun doesn't stop there! A fully equipped 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom garage apartment offers additional space and privacy. Walk into an open-concept living and kitchen area with bar seating, perfect for movie nights or casual meals. The two bedrooms in the apartment provide even more sleeping options: one with a queen bed and full-over-full bunk beds, and the other with a queen bed.
