I'm excited to share details about a home that truly checks all the boxes, and then some! This custom 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home with a 2-car garage is situated on a large, sunny lot in the heart of Santa Cruz Gardens, nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac. You'll enjoy serene sunsets, greenbelt views, peaceful streetscapes, and easy walks to the neighboring elementary school, county park, and miles of open space trails connecting to Chaminade Resort. There's also a low-key community swim club available to join. The home is beautifully styled with quality upgrades and amenities throughout, including a comfortable primary suite, two fireplaces, and two distinct living space areas. The attached two-car garage and fenced yard that backs up to a greenbelt offer plenty of indoor/outdoor living options, with garden spaces ready for your next-level landscape, outdoor kitchen, or play area. Santa Cruz Gardens is highly valued for its strong community spirit, absence of through traffic, and peaceful, natural atmosphere, all while being centrally located. This home is ready for you to move in and make it your own!
