The den has an arched opening providing a direct view of the golf course. An oversized utility room has a sink, washer, dryer, counters, utility closet, and custom built-ins. With a 34kWp solar system, 2 Tesla batteries to generate critical load power during outages (owned), a 400ft irrigation well, and propane for indoor range and outdoor grill w/ range, the average combined utility bills are $275 monthly (family of 5). Bose system complete w/ surround sound and outdoor speaker systems and TV remain with the home. The additional 1528 sqft of under-roof outdoor space boasts an outdoor kitchen (with Alfresco grille), sink, and refrigerator. There is a separate single garage with workshop custom built-ins and the attached over-sized two car garage (pulldown attic with storage); you will find a place for everything and everyone.
