The grounds are extensively landscaped with native plantings, creating an outdoor oasis. Stunning entry foyer is defined by gracious staircase, quarter sawn wood floors, and tall ceilings.

Exquisite bathrooms with large shower stalls, fine tile finishes and glass walls are thoughtfully designed and implemented.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
