Escape to your own peaceful, secluded setting where everyday living feels like a getaway. This custom 2BR/2.5BA home sits on ¾ of an acre of private, lush grounds with mature landscaping including orange, lime, Meyer lemon, and grapefruit trees, along with Japanese maple, azaleas, butterfly bushes, and a striking bottlebrush tree. Designed in two thoughtfully connected phases, the home is joined by a bright sunroom ideal as additional living space, reading lounge, or future hot tub area. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light fill the great room, highlighted by a central cupola with clerestory windows, where a gas fireplace and custom built-ins anchor the open layout flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area with stunning lake views.
