Indoor-Outdoor Living at Its Best
Bi-fold doors open the main living area to a California Room with fireplace, creating a natural extension of the home outdoors. The backyard is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with elevated sightlines, a built-in BBQ, fire pit, and multiple seating areas.
This is a home where indoor and outdoor spaces work together, not separately.
Thoughtful Design and Model-Level Finishes
As a former model, the home was designed to show how the floor plan lives day to day. That intention is felt throughout.
Interior features include wood flooring, custom crown molding and wainscoting, built-in features for added function, fully upgraded bathrooms, in-ceiling speakers, ceiling fans, and a beautifully added sunroom with a second fireplace.
The result is a home that feels complete, cohesive, and move-in ready.
Modern Comforts and Efficiency
Beyond finishes, the home includes systems that support ease of living and long-term efficiency:
- Paid solar
- Whole-house water filtration and softener
- Layout enhancements focused on comfort and flow
These features contribute to a turnkey experience that many buyers in RMV’s 55+ market prioritize.
