Tons of windows and natural lighting make this home bright and welcoming, and the room darkening shades give you the ability to allow just the right amount of light in for however you're feeling. Two of the bedrooms have king sized beds with king sized pillows, the third bedroom has a queen size mattress, and a pull out sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping space to accommodate the entire crew. Their is a full bathroom on the main floor, and the upstairs bedroom includes a 3/4 private bathroom / en-suite (tub, toilet, and sink) and a walk-in closet. A fully stocked kitchen, equipped with a gas oven, provides for all of your basic needs allowing you to cook up your favorite dishes. A reverse osmosis (RO) system has also been installed to supply high quality water anytime that is great for drinking or cooking. A formal dining room just off of the kitchen provides a great place to eat as a group or serves as a great place to play games.
