About This Home

As of May 2023

You'll feel the love from the moment you step inside this warm and welcoming home. It's evident that the owners made thoughtful updates and renovations to enhance their day-to-day family activities, as well as life's celebrations. The living room was transformed into a contemporary space complete w/recessed lighting and built-in fireplace/tv surround. The dining area was extended to accommodate a generous table or hutch, and the spacious kitchen was designed for the home chef and/or baker who covets 3 ovens, a 5-burner gas stove-top, and abundant pull-out storage. The bathroom is also a plus with its stone and granite accents. Other great features are generous on-site parking, a large rear patio and lawn area, and bonus oversized 25x30 (750 sq. ft.) detached garage with updated full bath and skylight. If you're thinking ADU possibilities (check w/city and county to explore your possibilities), the additional garden area behind the garage can be assigned to your lucky future tenants!!!
