Multiple HVAC units, dual tankless water heaters, and solar panels make this an easy one to enjoy! Close to downtown, no HOA nor land lease fee, and eligible to be a short-term vacation rental.

South-facing private front yard delivers BIG mountain views, mature landscaping, and gas fire pit. Inside, fall in love with the modern kitchen with large, detached island that opens to the living and dining areas that lead directly to the front and back yards.
