Upstairs, 3 en-suite bedrooms with custom-fitted walk-in closets, one of which is equipped with built-in bunk beds, a bonus room with 2 built-in desks and an additional upstairs laundry room add to the functionality and convenience. The outdoor area is a true oasis, fully walled-in with an electric gate. You'll enjoy a gas heated saltwater filtered pool with a sun shelf and spa, an artificial turf area and an automatic recessed roll-out pool cover. A screened-in entertainment lounge area includes a half bath that leads to a full outdoor kitchen with sink, TV, gas grill and a built-in pergola with electric heaters and cooling misting system. Perfect for guests or an adult retreat, the casita above the garage is accessed by a private interior elevator and an exterior spiral staircase and displays a 2,000-bottle refrigerated wine room, fully equipped wet bar, mini- fridge, clear ice maker, dishwasher, covered terrace with gas fireplace and private large pool-like infinity-edge spa.
