With the lady of the house being a gourmet cook, it’s no surprise to see a fully-equipped premium Twin Eagles stainless steel outdoor kitchen.

A spacious marble countertop adds the final touch.

The area in the shallow end, previously occupied by the spa, was used to create elegant walk-in steps. The spa’s original footprint provided enough space for the second step to become a 3’ wide tanning shelf. The pool’s premium Pebble Tec exposed aggregate interior is beautifully ringed with charcoal waterline tile and natural stone coping.

The highlight of the backyard is the 20’ x 40’ custom Gunite pool with premium white Pebble Tec exposed aggregate interior. Pebble Tec is highly durable and popular for pools with a tanning shelf.
