Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill style bathroom, with a dual vanity area separate from the shower and bath, allowing for added privacy and ease of use. The backyard continues the home’s inviting lifestyle with a covered pergola, large patio, and a turf area that doubles as a putting green or play space. A cascading rock fountain and mature tropical landscaping provide privacy and a resort like setting, complemented by a diverse collection of fruit trees including red and white dragon fruit, passion fruit, loquat, eggfruit, lemon, pomegranate, and fig, along with Japanese maple, palms, and bird of paradise.
