This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features an open great room floor plan where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together seamlessly, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The living room features a gas fireplace, ceiling fan, in-ceiling surround sound speakers, crown molding, and a built-in wine rack with a wine refrigerator for those evenings when it's time to unwind. The kitchen offers a breakfast bar with granite countertops for casual meals, stainless steel appliances, plus a walk-in pantry. A downstairs bedroom with an adjacent powder room offers endless flexibility. It can easily become a guest room, home office, or exercise room.

A full bathroom, linen closet, and dedicated upstairs laundry room complete the second floor. Enjoy a low-maintenance yard with mature landscaping, a grassy area for kids or pets to play, and a built-in BBQ with a mounted TV that's ready for summer cookouts, birthday parties, football Sundays, or simply relaxing after a long day. A two-car garage features built-in storage cabinets, making it easy to keep seasonal decorations, sporting equipment, and everyday essentials neatly organized. Located just minutes from Melinda Heights Elementary School, Altisima Park, scenic hiking and biking trails at O'Neill Regional Park, shopping, dining, and convenient access to the 241 Toll Road.
