About This Home

As of April 2021

You will appreciate the wonderful flow and copious amount of cheery light in this 3 bedroom two bath home with a filtered view of the bay and islands. Featuring a large slider walk out from the living room onto a trex deck that captures a territorial and water view- a perfect place to entertain outdoors. Inside, you will find three bedrooms and full bath on the upper and updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Downstairs, there is a giant bonus room and three quarter bath as well as a laundry room and attached garage. A partially fenced yard in the back creates some breathing room for those four legged members of the household. You'll even find a little hideaway tree fort. Easy, breezy location to get to everywhere you need to be.
