About This Home
As of September 2025This is an upstairs end-unit, with great views across the lake and to the mountains to the east, making it one of the best locations in this clean, well-tended complex. The unit has two full bathrooms, and has been well-maintained. The dishwasher and electric range are both brand-new, never used. There is a large, private porch facing south, opening to the living room and one bedroom. HOA fees include garbage and water and access to expansive community facilities, including pool, game room and much more. Open-beam ceiling in the llving and kitchen areas, along with the absence of a bulky fireplace, make for a very spacious feeling home--light and airy. Second story location means no noise overhead. There is lots of storage, including two cabinets in the carport, plus outdoor utility closet and easily accessed attic storage. Pets are permitted, with restrictions.
