Sensational solar home with NO HOA, a large usable lot, expansive views, and RV parking!

The expansive kitchen offers granite countertops, abundant cabinetry with pantry storage, a gas range, sunlit breakfast nook, and opens to the inviting family room featuring a fireplace and sliding glass doors for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, soft neutral carpet, and an updated en suite bath with soaking tub, step-in shower, and dual-sink vanity. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or evolving needs. An updated full hall bath includes attractive cabinetry and dual sinks.
