The kitchen has been beautifully remodelled with upgraded cabinets, granite counters, recessed lights, & large skylight. This home has nice natural light and pretty mountain views from the living room & kitchen. The master bedroom and second bedroom have been extended to give nice bedroom sizes.

The backyard has a nice covered patio & a large deck that wraps around the side & back of the house. Laundry is in the 2 car garage that also has nice built in cabinetry. This home has great curb appeal with the paver driveway & front walk & a nice front porch deck. There is additional storage in a good sized shed at the side yard.

    "It’s a rough area but blessed to be so close to the marina and the beaches. Housing costs are sky high, juxtaposed with unhoused living just outside your door. Overall pretty magical but suffering from poor governance."
