Peaceful living in Alameda! Nestled in the Costa Brava HOA (201 single family homes) within the 917 acre master community of Harbor Bay Isle, this beautiful 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home has been wonderfully remodeled and updated for your move-in enjoyment. Enjoy the spectacular high ceilings and bright natural light, formal dining room, upstairs laundry closet, and two-car garage.
