In addition to the office/study, there are three generously-sized bedrooms on the main level including the primary suite. All have ceiling fans.

The attic is accessed from the second floor. You will love the screened porch which runs across the back of the home. It overlooks the pool area, and is accessed from the family room/dining room area, from the laundry room, and from the primary suite bedroom.

The almost 2-acre lot has many fruit trees including almond, pear, pecan, peach, and apple trees, and a spectacular fig tree.
