In the last 10 years, the exterior has all new landscaping including a mature “no mess” oak tree, 6-inch gutter guards in premium bronze color. The backyard pool has a new liner, winter cover, pool pump and heater. Plus, there is an outdoor shower with hot water. A highlight is the expansive deck with unique lighting. Stained to match the outdoor woodwork is a new privacy fence. Inside, you’ll find solid core designer doors, a multi-cook kitchen, a master suite with slider to the deck, a custom closet and a master bath with radiant heated floors. All appliances stay as does the washer dryer, and all mounted TVs with Bose speakers. The lower level has an egress window for the 3rd bedroom, an elegant bath, back bar area and waterproof LVP flooring. Newer HVAC, water heater, and sump pump with water back-up. Let’s not forget the heated garage, painted with OSB insulation and decorative epoxy floor. It also has a screened door-adding extra space for those large gatherings. All can be yours at an amazing price. For more specifics about improvements and dates, ask to see the Amenity Sheet attached to the listing.
