Now offered for the first time by its original owner, the estate is appointed with 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. Imagine the unparalleled privacy of a 1.11-acre cul-de-sac lot in the center of Del Sur's most valued community. Bordered by a backyard berm, there is no neighbor behind. The appeal is unmistakable the moment you approach the home. You enter through custom dual doors of wrought iron and glass.
