About This Home

As of May 2024

A contemporary take on the classic Tudor, this 2BD, 2BA gem affords a sun-soaked open floorplan that melds period details and modern finishes. Boasting an airy, spatial expanse that merges living/dining/kitchen. Retreat to the backyard when the mercury rises and unwind in a lushly landscaped patio shaded by mature trees or sit in comfort with air conditioning. An exterior cottage sets the stage for remote work, fully appointed with electric, insulation, and vinyl plank flooring.
