About This Home
As of December 2015You've heard it many times before..."this home has it all" but this time it's true. From the moment you pull up to this home located on a quiet cul-de-sac, you will notice the attention to detail with the professionally lanscaped grounds. When you walk in the front door you are greated by a large center hall foyer and amazing travertine floors that flow through the foyer into the modern, spacious kitchen and breakfast nook. There is a large granite topped island in the kitchen with an eating bar. Off the kitchen is a first floor office, 2-story family room with built ins and gas fireplace. Also on main level is a dining room open to living room, powder room and laundry. Through a glass paneled door you will notice the finished, walk-out lower level appointed with tons of space. The pool table will remain if you'd like it. Also on the lower level is a built-in entertainment center, TV and surround sound theater system that will all stay with the home. 2nd floor features huge master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet and spacious bath with jetted tub. 3 other bedrooms and 1 hall bath are also located on 2nd floor. The rear of the home features a 2-tiered deck/patio and privacy fence. There is an irrigiation system throughout the landscape so no need to worry about the plants being watered. The current owner has taken immaculate care of this home and you will notice definitely this when viewing. Enjoy. A 1-year 2-10 home warranty being offered with acceptable agreement of sale.
