The house has:
A big family room/dining room with an open kitchen for gatherings and entertaining with family and friends. This open space is on the other side of the house, same as the backyard with the outdoor table and sofa. That makes the house very functional for resting and gathering.
Two spacious traditional bedrooms (king and queen size beds). The best quality mattresses are free from toxins and are hypoallergenic & dust-mite resistant. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have a reading corner.
One beautiful tatami room perfect for kids to play and for guests to sleep in (pads and bedding provided). It's perfect for Yoga and meditation as well (Yoga mats provided). This tatami room can also be a “work from home” station with a big desk and the WiFi relay.

A Weber BBQ Grill is in the backyard. Everything you need to feel at home. The beautiful dining table can be extended to sit more than 8 people.
The private backyard is safe for kids to play in, and is a lovely spot for a quiet outdoor meal or an afternoon of lounging. The backyard has a comfortable sofa set, a BBQ grill, and a dining table. In the side yard, under the beautiful oak tree, there is a swing that can be converted into a hammock – it’s a perfect spot to read in the golden sunset in the afternoon.

Our recently upgraded high-speed Internet service clocks in at a blistering 600MBPS. We also use a mesh network to deliver high speeds across the entire house even in the backyard so you can use a single login to work or play anywhere - without fear of a slow or intermittent connection.

The swing in the side yard is every kid’s favorite.
