The association meticulously maintains the exterior of all villas, including the beautiful paver walkway leading to your front door and quaint courtyard patio. This outdoor patio features a pergola roof and glass sliders from the kitchen making it ideal for grilling, enjoying your morning coffee, or visiting with neighbors and friends. Inside, the vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling bay windows, and the many glass sliders that flood the home with natural lighting accentuate the spacious feel of the home.
