About This Home

As of January 2021

The kitchen is nicely coordinated with oak cabinets, granite countertops, tumbled marble backsplash & ceramic tile floor, which extends through the Laundry room. The carpets are in excellent condition. If you are keeping them, then they will be professionally cleaned right before closing. The 2 car garage faces Bluebird instead of a garage street& the bedrooms are very private as they back up to the woods & hill leading to Concordia. And the patio has a capped gas line for your outdoor barbeques - no more need for propane tanks!!! Come and enjoy all the amenities The Ponds has to offer in 2021!!
