Tucked away on a private lot at the end of the street, Elite Ruffino Retreat offers the ultimate in luxury and relaxation. This 4-bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 half bath home is designed for comfort and entertainment, featuring a heated pool with slide, hot tub, pickleball court, and a serene koi pond.

Inside, the grand entry opens to a spacious TV room with access to the screened porch, perfect for movie nights. Across the hall, a peaceful sitting room invites you to unwind with a book, practice yoga, or catch up on work. The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a fireplace, workout area, lounging couch, king bed, and a spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower.
