About this home
Single Family · Built 2004
HUGE PRICE DROP! This spacious two-story home features 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and over 2,400 sq ft of living space. The island kitchen includes an eating bar that overlooks the generous family room with a cozy gas fireplace. A formal dining room provides the perfect space for gatherings, while the large upstairs bonus room offers flexibility, ideal for a home office, media room, or play area. The primary suite has vaulted ceilings, a 5-piece bath, and a walk-in closet. Home needs cosmetic work! New carpet and paint would make a huge difference. A brand-new roof has just been installed, giving you a head start. Located in a welcoming community with a nearby park, walking trail, and small lake. Close to shopping, schools, and freeway.
