About This Home
As of May 2025Beautiful, Move-in ready HOME! Living Room with wood burning fireplace opens to covered patio that is a perfect spot to entertain this summer. So tranquil that blue birds like to spend time there. Mature fruit trees and lush lawn areas (only one month old with new sprinklers). Beautiful kitchen that opens to either a dining area or a family room option. Primary bedroom with bay window, custom walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a soaking tub. Garage has new light fixtures, lots of storage with pantry area and shelves, and fresh new paint with epoxy floor. Brand New: Roof, Driveway, and front privacy fence. Access to 280/680/87 for an easy commute. Must see to appreciate!
