Remarks

You'll feel the love from the moment you step inside this warm and welcoming home. It's evident that the owners made thoughtful updates and renovations to enhance their day-to-day family activities, as well as life's celebrations. The living room was transformed into a contemporary space complete w/recessed lighting and built-in fireplace/tv surround. The dining area was extended to accommodate a generous table or hutch, and the spacious kitchen was designed for the home chef and/or baker who covets 3 ovens, a 5-burner gas stove-top, and abundant pull-out storage. The bathroom is also a plus with its stone and granite accents. Other great features are generous on-site parking, a large rear patio and lawn area, and bonus oversized 25x30 (750 sq. ft.) detached garage with updated full bath and skylight. If you're thinking ADU possibilities (check w/city and county to explore your possibilities), the additional garden area behind the garage can be assigned to your lucky future tenants!!!
