Private Japanese Rock Garden

This Japanese rock garden keeps with the natural stone elements of the home. The plants provide a bit of greenery, as well as soften the space. The surrounding wood fence adds another layer of texture and privacy to the space.

Flowing Floor Plan

The home's open concept living-dining-kitchen space allows the family to maximize time together and integrates views of the garden and pool. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels ensure that the space is always well-lit.

Leather Sectional

What would the living room be without a space to stretch out? Luckily, this leather sectional is up to the task, providing enough leg room for at least four people! The poolside views aren't too shabby, either.
