Built by Community Builders during the 1950s, this home boasts clean lines, modern amenities, and expansive windows. The prairie-style roof pitch exudes a sophisticated yet timeless appearance. The open-concept is seamless in its approach, for entertaining or evenings with the family; integrating a free-flowing design that will leave you breathless. Every aspect of this home has been meticulously renovated, infused with a contemporary ascetic. Natural light floods from every window, creating a vibrant palette of colors that illuminate a relaxing space, from the fireplace nook, to the expansive kitchen with a wrap-around island, waterfall countertops, and custom cabinets, and vaulted living area; this is the heart of the home. Adjacent to the living area is an enclosed three-season room and access to a private patio. The living quarters consist of a versatile flex space that can be utilized as either an office or bedroom, with sliders to the patio; a large guest room, complete with built-ins, and access to a guest bath; and a primary suite featuring beautiful custom-built-in cabinets, tiled ensuite, and a walk-in closet. Through the garage, you’ll find an additional office space, perfect for a home business or crafting. A separate door opens to the patio. Outside is a secluded yard, with its raised gardens, landscaping, and privacy fence.
