In all, the home has four bedrooms, four full baths and a half bath in 4,374 square feet, plus a three-car garage.

The home has an in-ground pool, an outdoor kitchen, a covered patio, a balcony and an outdoor gas fireplace.

The main home is open from end to end under vaulted ceilings, with pine accents, wood-look vinyl floors and an electric fireplace set into a stone feature wall in the family room. The kitchen takes a modern farmhouse approach: two-tone cabinets, a brick backsplash, stone counters, a farmhouse sink and a walk-in pantry hidden from view. An office sits behind vintage wood doors, a laundry room nearby has a dog-washing station, and a second living room adds more space. Every bedroom has its own bath and a walk-in closet fitted with wood organizers. In the primary suite, the bath has a tiled walk-through shower, a soaking tub and two sinks, and the white oak closet has a center island and a chandelier. A covered back porch is already plumbed for an outdoor kitchen.

Across the property, a 1,204-square-foot guest home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, high ceilings and covered front and rear porches trimmed with cypress beams. Its kitchen has an island topped in sycamore and a coffee bar. The land also has a temperature-controlled garage building with 10-foot doors, built-in cabinets and workbenches, and a detached carport with five bays, climate-controlled storage and a half bath.
