Inside, the oversized living and dining rooms offer plenty of space to gather, while the fully stocked kitchen—with blender, air fryer, and more—makes cooking at home a breeze.

The private office includes a sit-stand desk, monitor, and printer to keep you productive while away. For entertainment, enjoy the 65” Smart TV in the living room and 40” TVs in two of the bedrooms.
