This solar (owned, not leased) home features nearly 3,800 square feet of living space, a 45 foot salt water pool with spa and so many more elegant touches both inside and out.

The island kitchen boasts slab granite counter tops, all stainless steel appliances with a Wolf gas cooktop, dual KitchenAid ovens along with a warming tray, a KitchenAid stainless built-in double door refrigerator, trash compactor and KitchenAid dishwasher.
