About This Home
12426 Royal Rd brings together the features buyers are often forced to choose between: a move-in-ready main home, a studio ADU, a pool, generous parking, and multiple outdoor spaces—all in a quiet, tucked-away setting. The main residence offers three bedrooms plus a flexible fourth room, two bathrooms, and an open-concept kitchen and living area designed for gathering. The studio ADU has its own entrance, kitchenette, and full bathroom, creating valuable space for extended family, guests, work, or rental income. Outside, a covered porch extending the length of the home overlooks the recently replastered pool, while the fully fenced, low-maintenance backyard provides another inviting place to relax or entertain. A two-car garage, RV parking, and room for multiple vehicles complete this hard-to-find setup. Thoughtfully updated and priced to stand out, this is a rare combination of comfort, flexibility, and value.
