This idyllic community offers tree-lined streets with blissful lake views, perfect for morning and evening strolls. Arrive home and be greeted with fantastic curb appeal. The brick and stucco façade in warm, earthy tones is a beautiful backdrop for the lush, pristine lawn with mature trees and plants surrounded by concrete edging planters for a crisp, finished look and ease of maintenance. Enjoy abundant parking with the spacious driveway into the 2-car garage with an auto-roll privacy screen. A convenient paved pathway leads around the house to the side sun patio and rear screened lanai.

Along with stunning cosmetic upgrades, the owners have also made practical updates, such as a new brick retaining wall in the backyard in 2018 and a new roof in 2020. A combination living/dining area welcomes you upon entry, and it flows into the open-concept family room and kitchen area. The well-appointed kitchen has been gorgeously updated with Quartz counters, a classic subway tile backsplash, floating upper shelves, and Shaker-style cabinetry with loads of soft-close storage drawers.
