Attached to the garage is an 830 sq. ft. workshop, adu, or game room featuring a custom tile 3/4 bath, vaulted ceilings with skylights, upgraded power, and garage access. The rear yard also has an additional shed for storage. The rear yard has a gazebo, covered patio, and trellis area to enjoy the flowers or pick from many fruit trees, including lemons, naval oranges, bananas, dragon fruit, papaya, and persimmon. If you need to make a fruit salad, there are 2 sinks, one double and one utility, located on the center island. clean up is easy with 2 dishwashers, one Fisher Paykel and a Bosch dishwasher. granite counters, custom cabinets, a double oven, and a refrigerator. an octagonal eating area with lots of windows for those everyday meals, or the dining room for the more formal occasions. open to the family room, a breakfast bar for those quick meals. a custom entertainment system to watch tv from wherever you dine.
