Situated on a corner lot in a quiet, established neighborhood, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been thoughtfully updated over the years. The living room is warm and inviting with cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, wood-look laminate flooring, a brick fireplace that can be wood-burning or gas, and large windows overlooking the fenced backyard. As you step into the kitchen, you'll notice the granite countertops, 18-inch tile flooring, a terrazzo backsplash, modern flat-panel cabinetry, breakfast nook stainless steel appliances, and a built-in double wine cooler. The primary bedroom is spacious and includes double vanities, an oversized custom-tiled walk-in shower with a built-in bench, and a large walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and have newly installed carpet. Step outside to enjoy the large patio overlooking the backyard and pond, offering a great space for grilling, relaxing, or entertaining. The property also includes a two-car covered carport and a workshop/storage shed for extra storage. Recent improvements include a commercial-grade tankless water heater (2025), roof (2016), HVAC system that's less than eight years old, and new vinyl windows throughout the home. Homes with this many updates, beautiful backyard views, and a great location don't come along often!
