The outer space features the classic white picket fence, a sprawling front lawn, and a central water fountain. On the other hand, the inside of the house features bright, light-filled spaces with white walls, high-end hardwood floors, and large windows throughout to ensure light enters from all nooks and crannies. According to the report, the house has a high-end kitchen filled with marble countertops, high-end appliances, and a central island built for cooking and entertaining. The main suite spans an entire floor, while the outside area, specifically the backyard, flows into multiple tiered outdoor zones.
