About This Home

As of May 2020

ENJOY PANORAMIC SOUTH FACING VIEWS from this fabulous 4 Bedroom (1 downstairs) + Loft, 3 Bath gem situated at the heart of a cul-de-sac in the sought after Melinda Heights area of RSM. Enter to find a dramatic stairway with soaring ceilings showcasing the living room and offering fantastic light which flows into a large formal dining room. Beyond the dining room is a fabulous family kitchen with a convenient casual eating area, a prep island, walk-in pantry, plenty of counter space and great light from a large window looking out to the pool-sized yard and covered patio deck. A large family room adjoins the kitchen and features a focal point fireplace and a custom built in entertainment center. A spacious downstairs bedroom and 3/4 bath is perfect for guests. An inside laundry adds to the appeal. Upstairs is a large second living/loft area which is a great area for kids, an office or could be converted to a 5th bedroom. With a wall of South facing view windows, the spacious master offers a cozy retreat as well as great closet space, a large en-suite with dual sink vanity, a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath complete the upstairs. Entertaining is easy with a large yard (easily enough room for a pool), a covered patio area, privacy and view of the hills and neighborhood. Walking distance to Melinda Heights Elementary School, Altisma Park and Pool and membership to all of RSM Amenities (pools, beach club, parks)!
