About This Home
As of May 2025Beautifully remodeled, recently painted S&S home with interior tract location in the heart of Golden West Estates – a wonderful neighborhood. Upon entry, this home boasts soaring ceilings and a living room with natural light. The owner has designed this Cherrywood-accented kitchen, among other upgrades within this home. It has been uniquely transformed into a lovely and functional Gourmet kitchen. This kitchen has a custom designed peninsula counter, colorful lighting, fossil backsplash design, skylights, a built-in wine fridge and stainless-steel appliances. You will enjoy cooking with the 6-Burner stove and the custom copper hood while entertaining at the same time. The kitchen overlooks a warm and cozy family room with a fireplace that has slider doors opening to the backyard. There is a main level bedroom and three-quarter bathroom just outside of the family room along with an indoor washer and dryer area. As you head upstairs, you will find a full bathroom and hall storage space along with other built-ins throughout the home. The Primary bedroom has sliders doors exiting to a large balcony for ideal privacy and countless sunset views or other momentous viewing opportunities. The ensuite Primary bathroom has both a jetted tub and shower. The owner has kept all bathrooms nicely maintained and with upgrades too. The backyard is just as fabulous with both a paved dining area/outdoor gas-lined BBQ system and a yard with lushly landscaped lawn, planters, and blossoming trees without any utility wires. The garage has storage space too. There are just too many great details to share with this home. One must see this home to appreciate it. All it needs is its next set of tenants.
