About This Home
Welcome to Morningside Terrace. This thoughtfully designed home offers the rare benefit of having no neighbors above or below you. Enjoy the peace and quiet of your own two-story unit, with private living spaces upstairs and down.
Recently updated, the home features a new heater, entire home plumping re-piped, stylish newer flooring, and a modern kitchen complete with updated appliances. The light and airy color palette enhances the open feel of the living area, which flows seamlessly to a private back patio — the perfect space to relax, entertain, or soak in the afternoon sun.
The kitchen offers generous counter space, along with a charming bay window ideal for your favorite plants. Natural light fills the home through an abundance of windows and a large sliding door off the living room, adding warmth and character throughout.
Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features its own full bathroom, new closet organizer built-ins and a private balcony — a peaceful retreat to enjoy a good book or take in the night sky. Just down the hall is the second bedroom, also generously sized and with ample natural lighting.
Location is key, and this home truly delivers. Marketplace Plaza is just a short walk away and offers everything from grocery stores and retail outlets to restaurants and everyday conveniences. Families will appreciate being about a mile from top-rated K–12 schools, making daily routines easier and stress-free. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the close proximity to numerous parks featuring hiking trails, baseball fields, and playgrounds.
This is more than just a home — it’s a community and a lifestyle. The perfect neighborhood to raise a family and enjoy all that the area has to offer.
