The entry-level main floor features an open living and dining area with wood-look tile flooring, recessed lighting, accent walls, a gas-starter fireplace with built-in cabinetry, and central A/C. The layout flows comfortably for everyday living, with a functional kitchen offering ample cabinetry, an adjacent dining space, and a refrigerator that conveys. A convenient half bath is located downstairs for guests, along with additional under-stair storage. Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized and share a centrally located hallway bathroom. The layout features a vanity area positioned just outside the tub/shower and toilet area. Enjoy a private patio with easy access to the community pool, spa, grill area, and community laundry room, along with a front greenbelt area maintained by the HOA. The unit offers entry-level access and includes two assigned tandem parking spaces (#183) located just a short walk away, without the need to navigate interior corridors or buildings. Additional information includes 16 solar panels, a pre-home inspection report, and a clear termite report completed in September. Interior living spaces are notably quiet. This property is currently one of the best-priced opportunities in the community.
