Use it as a dedicated self-contained guest suite, a large studio, a professional home office, or a versatile fourth bedroom. The possibilities are immense, supported by generous power, data points, and independent controls for security and climate.

Step out to a glorious, private rear yard where life is meant to be enjoyed. A pitched-roof pavilion is the perfect setting for summer entertaining, overlooking lush, family-friendly lawns.
