High raked ceilings in this area provide a great sense of space, while sliding doors permit an easy flow onto a large wooden entertainment deck overlooking lush gardens and the below ground pool.
The mature gardens have been a highlight for the owners of this home. Towering palms create a tropical feel while raised veggie beds and mature fruit trees offer a taste of self-sufficiency. The sound of birdsong provides a pleasant accompaniment to morning coffee on front pergola or early evening gatherings of friends and fami-ly on the rear deck.
