The bright white exterior with bold trim, covered front porch, and blooming flower beds behind a classic picket fence give it the welcoming look that stands out on the block.

The kitchen is straightforward and functional with white cabinets, tile floors, and a smooth-top range. Bedrooms are comfortable and sized well. The backyard is honestly one of the best things about this place. It's fully fenced, super private, and lined with mature arborvitae that give it a tucked-away feel. There are persimmon, fig, and apple trees back there that actually produce fruit, plus a paved patio perfect for hanging out or grilling. The wooded hillside behind the neighborhood adds to the quiet, settled vibe. The attached garage is oversized and has been used as his and her space but can easily be converted back to single car garage. Quiet street, good neighbors, and close to schools, shopping, and the freeway. Plus a brand new electrical panel and relatively newer roof. Schedule an appointment to see it today!
