A private oasis awaits beyond the walls of glass as you enter the saltwater pool / spa area with large screen enclosure (pool recently updated with new filter cartridges, new gas plumbing and new tile to be installed week of 1/13). The outdoor living space is completely private and cannot be viewed from the street or neighboring properties. Beyond the pool, a bird sanctuary with fire pit is built into the conservation space. Attached to the screen enclosure is a fenced side yard. In the oversized 3 car garage you will find overhead additional storage.
