About This Home
As of December 2024This beautiful Spanish Mediterranean home sits on a large corner where plenty of sunshine enters each room. When you walk in, you are invited with a bright wood floor having a walnut inlay leading you to a large living room, complete with a relaxing fireplace and windows that extend to the floor. The kitchen is tastefully updated with beautiful granite counter tops, recessed lighting, and plenty of cabinet/storage space for the chef of the home. This split level home boasts large bedrooms on each level, and the upper bedroom has a birds-eye view of the backyard. The spacious backyard offers roughly 600 sqft of new lawn, a 225 sqft decomposed granite patio space, and even more space for the gardener of the home to plant amongst the lemon and plum trees. Owned Solar too!
