Open floor plan with a large kitchen, overlooking the expansive living area and your own private back fenced courtyard. Enjoy off street parking and your own enclosed GARAGE. This is one of the rare properties in Merestone that has the extra room that is ideal for an office or a third bedroom. We are scheduled to have the interior painted in early January so it will look just like new.
