Better beyond
measure.
Secluded from the bedrooms, the open, airy living room and kitchen are perfect for entertaining. Add double doors and decks to take the party outdoors.
Backyard XL 8’s kitchen includes a suite of full-size electric appliances, including a next-gen induction cooktop and panelized dishwasher.
The primary bedroom sits at the end of a storage-lined 10' hallway and includes an en suite bath, a built-in wardrobe, and a tranquil clerestory window.
The en suite bath is secluded and sanctuary-like, housing a palatial walk-in shower and generous built-in vanity with storage.
The secondary bedroom comfortably fits a queen-size bed and features the same built-in wardrobe as the primary bedroom.
The shared bathroom features a 32" × 60" cast iron tub. It sits next to a complete laundry work area with a stacked washer and dryer and supply storage.
A true home experience for even more privacy, another family member, new creative ventures, a place to get work done, a playroom, or whatever else you can dream up.
