About This Home

As of September 2012

You will love this smaller home with big home features. It is a split bedroom plan with spacious great room, a three car garage and sits on a .21 acre lot with beautifully landscaped back yard. This is one of the most sought after subdivisions in Rita Ranch with big lots and plenty of room between the homes. These original owners have taken great care of the home and made some nice updates including adding built-in wood bookcases in each bedroom, installing solid-core doors to bedrooms and laundry room and adding a full width covered patio that opens to the north facing back yard with a huge mesquite tree, some grass and a garden. The covered patio has pull down shade screens on all three sides and has hanging plants with each plant on the drip irrigation system. Come see it today!
