About this home

The trickling sound of the water garden gives you a serene feeling when you approach this charming property located in Payson Estates. With a west-facing orientation, morning sun radiates through an oversized picture window into the renovated 2012 KIT w/white cabinetry, granite counters, SS appliances, and peninsula. The LR has natural woodwork w/beam ceiling and wood-burning FP and flows nicely to the KIT. The 2nd floor features a master with a 3/4 BTH and access to a deck ideal for relaxing on warm summer nights. A French door takes you to the finished 3rd floor, which lends itself perfectly to be used for an au pair/guest suite and includes a BDRM, 3/4 BTH, and kitchenette. In addition there are replacement windows w/custom blinds throughout. The new owner will enjoy colorful blooms from the mature perennial gardens, a good size, fenced backyard w/raised planting beds and a 1-car garage. MOVE IN CONDITION. Convenient commuting location and in close proximity to public trans.
