Gorgeous and updated throughout on a private 12,055 sq ft lot with fully owned solar! Formal living and dining areas greet you as you enter the home and flow into the kitchen and family room.

The kitchen features an oversized eat-up island, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, a 5-burner gas range with double ovens, and a custom-built farmhouse dining table with storage. Just off the kitchen is an expansive outdoor oasis with a large patio, a four-post covered structure (gazebo-style), play structures, and your own miniature orchard with banana, apple, plum, lemon, peach, apricot, and tangerine trees—plus a fully fenced side yard with a deck just off the formal living room. The laundry room and guest powder bath complete the lower level. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious primary suite featuring French doors, a sitting area, and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The stunning, fully renovated bathroom offers quartz counters, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and stylish decorator features. Four secondary bedrooms with lovely views and a well-appointed hall bath complete the upper level. Upgrades include new LVP flooring, new interior and exterior paint, a 2-year-old dual-zone HVAC system, whole-house water filtration system, tankless water heater, dual-pane windows and doors, crown molding, upgraded baseboards, lighting, hardware, ceiling fans throughout, Ring alarm system, smart thermostats, and a smart irrigation system.
