A welcoming foyer opens to intricately carved Spanish motif doors and an open-concept main living area with cathedral ceilings featuring a living room with gas fireplace, dining area, chef's kitchen, and family room with a 2nd gas fireplace. The 1st floor includes 3 generous bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary en-suite bath. Two rear decks overlook the resort-like backyard with a stunning built-in gunite pool and glorious enclosed grounds, perfect for entertaining and play. A gate provides direct access to the tennis courts and grounds of Newman Elementary School. The lower level offers excellent flexibility with 2 additional bedrooms, full bath, laundry area, family/sitting room, combined exercise room and billiards room, including two sliders leading to the backyard. A perfect family retreat!— Gilmore Murphy Realty LLC
