About This Home

As of August 2020

Close to the bustling retail area of West Little York and 5 miles from Highway 290 and Antoine, this hidden gem in a peaceful neighborhood by a cul de sac has never flooded. With all the formals, high ceilings, expensive shutters on the windows, granite in the kitchen and bathroom vanities, and stainless steel appliances, this 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom house has lots to offer. The floating staircase takes you from the sunken, tiled family room with a wall of bookshelves and a dry bar to the 3 bedrooms with lots of closet space. Darker laminate flooring in the bedrooms, bamboo type flooring in the kitchen, hardy tiles in the family room - no carpet to worry about in this house. Outside you can relax on your deck under your gazebo, work on your projects stored in the Murray storage shed or garden with the rainwater collecting in the rain barrels. Beautiful mature trees in front and back help to create the park-like ambience. Come and see this impressive house!
