About this home

Single Family · Built 2003

First resale of this thoughtfully maintained home in a quiet pocket of well-established Tamarack Ridge. Only one owner since built. New roof, HVAC, w/h, int & ext paint, Milgard windows, carpet & fence -- so you can put those dollars toward your down payment instead. Perfect southern exposure invites afternoon light into the kitchen, family room, breakfast nook, primary & two other bdrms. Ground level guest bedroom. Huge fourth bedroom upstairs makes a great flex room for play, media, workouts and more. Beautiful primary suite. Real maple hardwood flrs. Gas fireplace. Central A/C. Generous footprint & vaulted ceilings. Light-drenched yard w/patio & south exposure. Near the community park (which hosts food trucks in summer). Walk to schools.
