About This Home

Put this one on your "checks a lot of boxes" and "must see" list! To name just a few of the exceptional things this home offers: Big family room with two walk-outs to the fenced side yard, deck and swimming pool. The Cabana/Tiki Bar for the pool is a great place to party! Huge master bedroom suite with walk-in closet (it's the size of small bedroom itself). Lots of updates to this beautiful home. Main floor laundry and there's another bedroom and 2 bathrooms on the main level; upstairs there are 2 more bedrooms and half bath upstairs. The big basement has tons of storage. 2 garages on the lots with the house. You can sit on the cute front porch, but you'll want to spend all your time at the Tiki-bar in the back! Come and see this one for yourself!
