Picture this: game nights that spill from kitchen to living room without missing a beat. A backyard big enough for a dog to run laps, kids to build a fort, or you to finally plant that salsa garden. A garage that’s not just parking—it’s your workshop, storage, project zone.
This 1.5-story home on a third of an acre isn’t asking you to squeeze into someone else’s idea of perfect. It’s a flexible stage for whatever comes next. Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. A bonus room that can be a nursery, office, podcast studio, or yoga space. You decide.
The primary suite upstairs? That’s your kingdom—quiet, roomy, and complete with its own bathroom. The big-ticket updates are already handled (roof, siding, driveway, garage), so you can move in and focus on the fun part: living.
The kitchen? It’s more than a place to cook—it’s command central. A complete remodel makes it easy to go from Tuesday night tacos to full-on Thanksgiving feasts without breaking a sweat. The open flow keeps you in the mix, whether you’re stirring a pot, helping with homework at the island, or topping off glasses before the next round of board games. It’s bright, it’s functional, and it’s ready to handle whatever flavor of life you bring to the table.
And the backyard? It’s basically begging for barbecues, birthday parties, or a hammock nap.
This isn’t just where life happens.
You will also save money up front because the seller has already paid for the inspection and the sewer scope!
