Inside, a stone gas fireplace anchors the living area, while the kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen is an additional open game room, creating another valuable guest entertainment space with plenty of opportunity to customize—think arcade games, sports lounge, kids’ zone, or additional gathering area. Upstairs, the open loft offers even more entertainment with a 2,000+ game multicade, shuffleboard, and poker/bumper pool. Outside, enjoy an expansive wraparound deck, peaceful views, private 6 person hot tub gazebo, and ample parking area.
