The custom-built home has a four-car garage, fenced pool area and an evergreen tree-line that gives the property natural privacy. Detailed rock gardens surround the fence line around the pool and have many blooming perennials. The same tailored rocks highlight the tree line and walkway to the formal front entrance, which is accented by a stone archway.
