Architectural-grade Marvin windows and doors are framed by custom industrial steel and aluminum railings. Expansive Garapa wood decks feature a specialized under-deck drainage system, ensuring the lower-level covered patios stay dry for year-round enjoyment. A beautiful custom paver driveway is flanked by an engineered retaining wall, new rock steps, and professional exterior landscape lighting. The grounds are finished with premium Zoysia sod, a full multi-zone automated sprinkler system, and a built-in propane grill hookup.
