About This Home

As of May 2025

Enjoy two designer fans slowly turning in the spacious living area with vaulted open beam ceilings. The stylish kitchen, complete with quartz counters and ceramic tile back-splash, invites you to belly up to the copper bar for a delicious meal. Refinished red oak floors shine throughout the home. The 2.5 baths have been beautifully remodeled with high end features. Warm your feet on the heated floors in the primary bathroom. The usable lot has parking for 5 or so cars and space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Stroll down the crushed granite path with rock garden walls to lush grounds with garden shed and flat lounge area. This quiet street offers lots of open space. Bike to single track trails in less than 10 minutes. The central forced air heat has new ducts. Owned Solar system with new inverter is still under warranty. A reverse osmosis system and water softener treat the water. The bonus area features a laundry room, wine cellar, and guest room. Come home to the peace and quiet of this Zen treasure.
