About This Home

As of June 2025

Immerse yourself in bright, modern living in this 2-bedroom Lock & Leave retreat, thoughtfully designed for effortless entertaining. An open-concept layout welcomes you from a sun-kissed living area to a formal dining space—ideal for hosting memorable gatherings. At the heart of it all, a chef-inspired kitchen impresses with stainless steel appliances, a chic backsplash, abundant counter space, and an island breakfast bar.

Fresh, neutral paint ties each space together, including the tranquil primary suite—complete with a glass-enclosed shower, dual-sink vanity, and roomy walk-in closet. Tucked near the second bedroom is a versatile den, perfect for a home office, media room, or cozy reading nook. Outside, a covered patio beckons for carefree evenings with a glass of wine in hand. Practical perks abound: the HOA handles front landscaping while the low-maintenance backyard invites lock-and-leave convenience. Add in a two-car garage with an electric vehicle charging port and a tankless water heater, and you've got a home that seamlessly blends style, comfort, and efficiencywelcome to the life you've been dreaming of!
