With a wash on 2 sides you will love the privacy at the pool and spa while watching the sunsets over Black Mountain.

3rd bedroom is split from the others. Window looks north toward out the front of the home.

This patio is off the dining room. The steps to the left form a path to the pool.

This is taken from the pool deck. Some landscape trimming would open up this type of view from more of the back yard and patio areas.
