Notice the open floor plan as you enter through the front door. The additional bedrooms are at the front of the home and are separated by a guest bath. The family room is the central room in the home and is open to the kitchen and dining room making it a great space for entertaining. The views of the private back yard can be seen from the spacious master bedroom giving you that feeling of privacy you have been looking for. The master bath features a whirlpool jetted tub, separate shower, and separate duel vanities that finish the space off nicely. The back yard is where this home really shines, literally! The back deck is large and sunny allowing for those afternoon get-togethers or perhaps a quiet place to start the morning and watch the sunrise. The home includes 2 lots and another home could be built beside you if you desired. This home won't last long so call today for your private showing before its gone!
