The grand-sized family room, showcasing 12' high ceilings & large sliding glass doors to the backyard patio area & pool, is simply breathtaking. To the left of the family room are the private quarters w/2 bedrooms & a large hall bath. One of the bedroom, big enough for 2 queen-sized beds, overlooks the Zen courtyard while the other bedroom/home gym presents direct access to the pool.
