Set back from the street, this sweet home awaits. As you approach, you'll be greeted by a beautifully manicured front yard, complete with interesting and colorful plantings. The sparkling exterior, complemented by blue window shutters, creates a classic, sophisticated appeal. 

Through the gate and tucked on the side of the home, a delightful porch invites you in. Upon entering, gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout, and freshly painted walls brighten the entire space. To the left of the entry, the living room awaits, centered around a fireplace—ideal for cozy chats or movie nights. Meanwhile, the large picture windows allow plenty of natural light in.

A modern light fixture and a striking accent wall create the perfect ambiance for gatherings; imagine entertaining friends and family for countless celebrations. The adjoining eat-in kitchen is both functional and stylish, and ready to inspire the family chef with its quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances including a Fisher & Paykel fridge. A sweet breakfast nook allows for casual dining or a place where one can relax and unwind.

At the rear of the home, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, each light-filled and offering views of the surrounding mature greenery and unique neighborhood hillside homes. The main bedroom boasts a large closet while the second bedroom features sleek wainscoting.

Conveniently located next to both bedrooms is the stylish bathroom with a shower over tub combination. Do not miss the oversized hall closet. 

Perfect as a work from home or maker’s space, downstairs find a bonus space measuring approximately 328 sq ft. The washer and dryer are also nearby, making laundry days a cinch!

Meander outside to find a large, fenced-in backyard ideal for weekend barbecues, gardening, and play. Shaded by gorgeous grapevines, a large deck sets the stage for dining al fresco, under the twinkling bistro lights.
A bright bougainvillea adorns the exterior, while the lemon trees offer treats. The detached garage offers endless possibilities; wonderful options for a potential home office, workshop or storage galore. 

This lovely block is known for its halloween parties, the annual block party and a general sense of connectedness that is truly unique and special!

Beyond the home, the community is stellar.
