About This Home

As of June 2025

Ground floor—no stairs—and arguably the best unit in the entire association! This beautifully maintained 3BD/2BA condo in sought-after Education Hill features fresh paint, an upgraded kitchen with Corian counters, modern cabinetry, and ample storage. The peaceful primary suite includes a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Step out to your private patio retreat—where birds sing and a gentle breeze rustles the trees. Includes oversized 1-car garage + reserved spot, with ample guest parking. No rental cap. Located on a quiet dead-end street with rare ability to turn either direction onto Avondale. HOA covers water, sewer, garbage, and landscaping. New windows (2022) and a newer 50-year roof complete this move-in-ready gem.
