Situated on a spacious lot over 10,000-square feet, this well-maintained single-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a functional floor plan with multiple indoor and outdoor living areas. The front living room flows into the dining area and kitchen before opening to a dramatic great room highlighted by vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and expansive sliding glass doors leading to the backyard. Designed with entertaining in mind, the impressive covered patio expands the usable living space and includes built-in lighting, recessed speakers, and convenient controls for exterior flood lighting.

An additional 148-square-foot detached playhouse offers even more possibilities as a creative studio, fitness room, hobby space, or recreation area.
