A Modern, Expansive Retreat Designed for Groups

A stone fireplace, plush seating, large TV, and generous dining area create an inviting gathering space, while the 12-foot Brunswick shuffleboard table adds a memorable touch.

A Fully Equipped Kitchen Built for Large Groups
The oversized eat-in kitchen is spacious, practical, and fully equipped for hosting. It includes two full-size refrigerators, abundant prep space, quality cookware and bakeware, full sets of dishware and glassware, sharp knives, serving platters, and all the essentials needed for preparing meals for a full house. A convenient half bath and a modern laundry room with a new washer and dryer sit just off the main living area.
Outdoor Living — Your Private Summer Resort
Completely upgraded in July 2025, the outdoor spaces were designed for long, relaxing days. The heated pool features shallow and deep ends, loungers, umbrellas, a water basketball hoop, and a modern fire table. A shaded pergola deck off the house creates a perfect outdoor dining area next to the Weber grill and prep station. By the pool, an additional pergola lounge with adjustable slats offers a relaxing space to unwind between swims.
