Set on an expansive .36 acre lot, the property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy generous outdoor space in an established residential setting with room to expand, create or add an ADU, plus room for a pool. Imagine creating your own garden retreat, designing an outdoor entertaining area or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with a larger parcel.

For those that love to cook, you'll love the Chef's Kitchen with island where you can indulge your culinary interests. An expansive deck off the dining area is perfect for BBQs and outdoor dining and overlooks the spacious backyard. The home has been refreshed with a new roof (early 2026), carpet in the bedrooms, updated lighting and new bathroom vanities. The home is wired for cable modem / internet, and has a remote closet to put AV equipment to utilize the surround sound speakers in the ceiling so you can easily setup a home theater in the living room. A newer (2021) HVAC, tankless water heater and upgraded electrical main panel are some of the added features you'll sure to appreciate. READY TO MOVE IN PLUS the POTENTIAL to expand if and when it's needed. Want more?
