This popular single-level three-bedroom, two-bath floorplan boasts nearly 1600 square feet of living space. This residence is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac far from busy roads or noisy highways. There are two patios: a front courtyard containing a variety of fruit trees which is perfect for outdoor entertaining, dining or relaxing. A second patio behind the house has been partially enclosed to create an additional 200 square feet of indoor space ideally suited for a variety of different options including arts and crafts studio, exercise room or a multi-purpose family room. The living room has a corner fireplace and an impressive, vaulted ceiling with wood beams and skylight. The enclosed rear patio can be directly accessed from both the living room and master bedroom.
