First time on the market in years, this house is situated on a large lot and has fantastic curb appeal with tidy lawn and brick planters adorning the front. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and 1360 square feet plus a separate enclosed patio area with plenty of room remaining for the backyard and garden. Just inside the entry, you are greeted by a lovely custom latticework wall entering into the living room.

Dining area is located to the side of the living room, plus there is room for a dinette area inside the kitchen. The kitchen features plenty of cabinet space, tile counters, double sink, double oven and microwave. Through the swinging saloon-style doors is your dedicated laundry room with space for full size washer and gas dryer, plus a half bath with a tile backsplash. The 3 bedrooms are spacious and share a hall bath with a tub, shower and tile counters. Additional features include central AC and heat, ceiling fans, dual pane windows, copper plumbing, along with the hidden treasure of hardwood floors beneath most of the carpet. The extra long driveway leads through the carport and through the vinyl gates to the detached 2 car garage. This is great for privacy and letting the kids play securely in the backyard.

Behind the enclosed patio is a large open lawn area, a mature Valencia orange tree and a storage shed.
