The spacious ground-floor primary suite offers dual sinks, a walk-in closet, and a slider to the back yard. Entertain with ease in the inviting living room, generous family room, and dining spaceor step outside to your island-inspired retreat with a tiki bar and palm-shaded lounge. Additional highlights include updated baths, all-copper plumbing, central HVAC with A/C, and a detached garage rebuilt in 2006. Just a short stroll to downtown Willow Glens shops, dining, and coffeehouses, and moments from the Three Creeks Trail. Quick access to 87, 280, Tamien Train & Light Rail station, and only 7 minutes to Mineta International Airport make this the perfect blend of lifestyle and location.
