About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to Sycamore Villas, where this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers 2,804 square feet of living space, including a versatile accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above the two-car garage with long driveway for ample parking—ideal for extended family or generating rental income. The ADU features a private entrance via an exterior staircase, a galley kitchen, a full bath, and a flexible open space that can serve as a studio bedroom, home office, or both. The main house boasts a bright and inviting floor plan. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and family room. The open kitchen is a chef's dream, with granite counters, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and wood cabinetry providing plentiful storage. The downstairs bedroom, paired with an adjacent full bath, offers convenience for guests. Elegant details like hardwood and high-end laminate flooring, white baseboards, and matching bannisters add sophistication throughout. Retreat in the primary suite upstairs, featuring a luxurious en suite bathroom with a sunken tub, shower and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a shared hall bath with a double vanity, and a dedicated laundry room complete the second level. Step outside to a low-maintenance backyard with stone pavers. Open House, Sun. Jan 12th from 1-4pm
