The pool is safely located directly adjacent to the two lower bedrooms. Surrounded by a non slip wooden deck, and giving the extra convenience of an outdoor rinsing shower, this pool also looks over the subtle valley hills and mountains in the distance. The kitchen / living room area are spacious, clean and contentedly modern. High powered AC units cool the room with option of opening the large patio doors to encourage natural air circulation. The home furnishings are a classic blend of dark wood, bamboo and wicker, providing a distinct Mediterranean appeal. This home is easily encapsulated by considering its privacy, security, serenity and Awe-inspiring beauty.
