Inside, a spacious hallway leads to the living room, where oversized windows frame views of the serene backyard, complete with fruit trees, a grassy lawn, and a sparkling pool. Living room floor plan allows for the perfect area for a formal dinning that comfortably sits 6 people. To the left of the entry, you'll find two cozy bedrooms, with the primary bathroom in between the two.
