About This Home

DUPLEX-STYLE, SINGLE FLOOR CONDO, picturesque location, lots of natural light, corner lot, surrounded by trees & open space, quiet, secluded neighborhood. Two car garage, sunroofs, automated sprinkler system, efficient propane fireplace, alarm system, vaulted ceilings, a large open kitchen with window over the sink that looks out into the garden, A/C (heat pump), and low HOA dues. Both LARGE bedrooms have a walk-in closet. The home is located in a small, well maintained condominium association with only eight homes in it. This beautiful, freshly painted condo has had only two owners, and was maintained with TLC. The home feels more like a single family home than a condo. This is a unique UP condo that is hard to find. MUST SEE!!!
