About This Home

As of July 2023

A unique Orindawoods one-story townhome which was recently stripped to the studs and tastefully remodeled. Beautifully appointed end unit with a large wrap-around deck that includes a gate accessing the adjacent park like area. The ancient oak tree situated outside the wrap-around sliding doors creates a zen-like feeling in this tranquil home. The sun-drenched great room includes a dramatic linear fireplace, a recessed flat-screen television, a vaulted wood-beamed 16-foot high ceiling with large clerestory windows and skylights with remote-controlled blinds. The master suite includes a luxurious bathroom with high ceilings, a lovely large level-in shower, frameless glass enclosure and a linear drain, plus dual sinks, a sitting area, and walk-in closet. The exterior cedar shingle siding, dual-paned windows, composition shingle roof, gutters, and driveway are all new. Plus new plumbing, electrical, and insulation. Included are a superb tennis facility, community pool, close to downtown.
