Perched proudly behind a custom rock wall, this like-new home features a net metered PV system while the EZ care yard hosts beautiful, mature "bonzai" plantings in front, with gracious plantings of local flowers and fruit trees in the rear. A large side yard is ready to future expansion while paved pathways in the rear lead to a large koi pond area. With a commitment to keep the home in new condition, the seller has recently updated the roof with "Surlock" standing seam roofing, adding the PV panels and including a Tesla battery wall to boot! Newer climate-friendly vinyl flooring throughout the main living spaces complements the updated baths, including one located to service an "office-sized" bedroom, while doubling as a perfect guest bath as well. The rear-facing kitchen is perfectly situated to service a future lanai which could be added just outside the slider from the dining area. Cherry cabinets with soft close drawers, Corian counters and newer appliances including a high-end gas stove and microhood make the kitchen an easy place to love. Three additional bedrooms means there's room for all. Recently re-painted, the home is completely move-in ready and very easy to love! The home located on the corner is available separately.
