Tile flooring throughout the first level adds both elegance and easy maintenance. Upstairs, the carpeted split-bedroom layout provides comfort and privacy. The primary suite is quietly positioned at the rear and opens onto its own private balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes among the treetops. Both bedrooms feature walk-in closets, along with a hall linen closet and a locked owner’s closet within the primary suite. The primary bath includes dual-sink vanity and cabinetry updated in 2022. Assigned parking is located directly in front of the residence, with ample guest parking nearby.
