The second floor has two fantastic bedroom suites with walk in closets and great storage. A handsome staircase takes you to the second level and the lower level that feels less like a lower level due to the high level of finish. There are 2 TV viewing areas - one with handsome fireplace and another with surround sound speakers, built in media cabinet and storage columns - all in beautiful Cherry wood. There is another bedroom suite with walk in closet and large laundry room AND storage closet that is perfect for that wish-list wine cellar. The enviable garage has high ceiling, beautiful wood door, epoxy floor, storage cabinets and remains warm from the heated room below. This is really a WOW home with so much more than meets the eye.. it lives more like a condo or town home - very low maintenance. Gated driveway with remote open/close retains pets or little ones. 2 minutes away to the new state of the art South Park - baseball, soccer, bocce ball, splash pad and playsets. The bike path is literally out your door. Lots of privacy here - in this friendly, great neighborhood. Low taxes and incredible use of every square foot make this home an unbelievable value. So much more than meets the eye here. GREAT CONDO ALTERNATIVE - EASY MAINTENANCE YET PRIVACY IN A GREAT LOCATION. QUALITY CONSTRUCTION AND IMPPECCABLE MAINTENANCE IN THIS TWO OWNER HOME.
