This home features two extra large bedrooms and one full bath. The master has a sliding glass door overlooking the beautiful pool with built in waterfall. The secondary bedroom may be able to be easily converted into two bedrooms (check with city for permit requirements). The quaint kitchen has a breakfast nook in addition to the dining area. Right off of the kitchen is a full laundry room that also leads to the large back yard. Detached garage has been finished with drywall, recessed lighting and ceiling fan and can be easily used as a pool house or den. Property needs full cosmetic update. Hardwood floors throughout, just need to be refinished. Tons of opportunity to add your design touches and make this your own.

Local insights from Redfin agents
