Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers dual wardrobe closets with custom built-ins, along with an en suite bath featuring dual vanities, a large soaking tub and shower combo. Two additional bedrooms complete the second level, providing plenty of space for family or work-from-home flexibility. Step outside to your private backyard oasis—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings. A covered patio, built-in barbecue, and large island bar set the stage for gatherings with beautifully landscaped grounds. Ideally located across from award-winning Melinda Heights Elementary and Altisima Park, you’ll enjoy access to association amenities including a pool, tennis and basketball courts, and soccer fields. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, thoughtfully updated and move-in ready.
