A rooftop solar array helps power the home, and upgraded carpet, tile flooring, plantation shutters, custom paint and an attached three-car garage are on display. Private and beautifully landscaped, the homesite measures almost 10,019 square feet, allowing ample room for a resort-inspired backyard with pool, spa, a built-in BBQ island and water-saving turf.
