All new double pane windows, and a newer ductless mini-split air conditioning/heat pump system, as well as a whole house fan. Beautiful upgraded vinyl flooring throughout the home looks like wood, but easier to care for.

With the landscaped yard at 9,148 sq ft (.21/acre), this cottage appears to have stepped from the pages of a Homes & Gardens magazine. In addition to a large patio cover, meander your way to the back yard which boasts navel orange, lemon, lime, and countless colorful crape myrtle trees, plus 5 raised garden beds.

There is a second yard on the other side of the house that is large enough to be enclosed for a pool, room addition, or potential RV parking. The attached 2-car garage has direct house access, which is perfect for year-round convenience.

Endless opportunities with this gorgeous home, from the brand new redwood fence along one side, to the convenient walking distance to the Riverside Plaza. Great starter home, or ideal for a downsizing family. Don’t hesitate, as this will go quickly.
