About This Home

As of July 2026

Great family home on a corner lot. Beautiful woodwork and pocket doors. Most windows are replacement vinyl windows. This home is made for entertaining! The back deck runs the length of the house with additional putting green and room for an above ground pool - or you can set up a game of sand volleyball! HUGE garage/workshop/workout room/game room. Located close to all Polo schools! This is a solid home, but is being sold as-is. Cash or Conventional financing only. Solar panels are leased at $68/month and the electric bill runs $20 or less each month. Lease to be transferred to new owner.
