Description

NO EXAGGERATION...This home has had upgrades making this one-of-a-kind for this community.  The front door was relocated for a side entrance and the steps were redesigned for a grander appearance.  The driveway was widened for additional parking and a bump-out bay window was installed in front for great views of the pond and walking trail.  As you step inside the great room and dining area you are welcomed with an abundance of natural light from the bump-out-bay window which provides a perfect place to grow your favorite plants and well cared wood flooring.  Off the dining area are sliding doors to the tiled patio with lots of privacy as there are no neighbors on this side or the back of the home.  The kitchen offers a gas range, built in microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator and double stainless-steel sink. The laundry room has an oversized washer and dryer and additional space for your food storage needs. You enter the garage from here and there is space for storage here as well. The bedrooms are off the wood floored hallway with one bedroom with carpet, a double closet and hall bathroom with tub/shower combo.  The owner's suite has a wood floor and private bath with shower stall and large walk-in closet. This home has been lovingly cared for and this is a great opportunity for someone looking to live in 55 & over community.  Call for your personal tour.
