Description

Looking for the peace of country living with the convenience of the city? This is the perfect home for you!

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sits on a private lot with no neighbors on either side, offering both privacy and tranquility. Inside, you’ll find brand-new carpet and fresh paint throughout, making it truly move-in ready.

The spacious master bedroom features a huge walk-in closet, sliding patio doors, and a large en-suite bathroom. Closet space is abundant throughout the entire home.

Enjoy newer recessed lighting and updated landscaping that add a fresh, modern touch to the property. The 2.5-car attached garage is a mechanic’s dream, offering ample space for tools, projects, or extra storage.

This custom-built home is just 16 years old and waiting for its new owner.

Bonus Opportunity: The lot across the street is also for sale—purchase both together for added space and privacy, or buy separately.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 03, 2025
