This home has an incredibly private backyard with outstanding entertainment spaces like a deck, patio, fire pit, and excellent side yard (recently fenced).

The bedroom has a walk-in closet, recently outfitted with California closet built-ins. The open, light-infused first-floor layout is excellent, with a living room and an adjacent glass-enclosed sunroom flowing effortlessly to a dining area and kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen has a large granite island and countertops, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas stove, lovely cabinetry, soft close drawers, and wood flooring, unifying the first floor. This quiet hidden gem of a street, close to parks, expressways, and Highlands shopping and restaurants, is between the Calvary Cemetery and Eastern Parkway.
