The hot tub on the rear deck was also added in 2015 & the yard was fully fenced. A berm/canopy of trees envelops the side making this area extremely private. This lovely home boasts 4,188 square feet of living space and it is truly an entertainer's delight! Make sure you check out the rear grounds where you can access the lake right from the back yard.
