About This Home

Immaculate 5-Bedroom Home with Resort-Style Pool. Situated on a beautiful and meticulously landscaped half-acre lot in one of the area’s most distinguished and established neighborhoods, this well-maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers refined living with thoughtful details throughout. This property reflects quality craftsmanship and enduring style, with a traditional floor plan that provides defined spaces for both privacy and comfort. A widened and extended driveway sets the tone from the curb, while private rear yard access through double gates offers rare accommodation for RV or boat storage with up to 50 feet of space either behind the gate or in front. The home’s classic layout includes formal and casual living areas, with solid surface flooring throughout, no carpet anywhere. The kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, ample cabinetry and counter space, ideal for both daily meals and larger gatherings. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The backyard features a well-maintained in-ground pool with upgraded glass filtration (replacing traditional sand) for superior water clarity. A separate kiddy play area with bubbles and a full lighting system provides a resort-style atmosphere perfect for entertaining day or night. Additional features include an insulated garage with decked attic space for extra storage, gutters surrounding the entire home, french drainage system, a sprinkler system, motion-activated exterior lighting, and a complete Ring security system. A detached storage shed offers even more convenience. Located in a quiet, well-kept neighborhood governed by a civic board with a low $75/year HOA. This well-maintained 9-year-old home combines comfort, privacy, and practicality, truly a rare find. Homes of this caliber and condition in this location seldom become available.
