Inside, this isnt a cookie cutter tract house! Architectural details set it apart from arched passageways and plank and beam ceilings, to a distinctive fireplace with warm wood accents and low maintenance brick paver flooring playfully sprinkled with colorful tile inlays. Natural light pours in through skylights, while a wraparound yard designed to feel like an atrium is visible from the living room, kitchen, and primary suite.

The primary bedroom has an ensuite, freshly remodeled bath featuring dual vanities, quartz counters, and brand new cabinetry as well as a huge walk in closet. The secondary bath was updated with the same finishes for a consistent, stylish look. A versatile den space offers an ideal extra area, which could function as a home office, fitness or reading room, or enclose it into a true third bedroom. Fresh paint and new bedroom carpet give the home a bright, welcoming feel right away, while a direct access 2 car garage and gated front courtyard add everyday convenience and security.
