The kitchen offers a breakfast bar with granite countertops for casual meals, stainless steel appliances, plus a walk-in pantry. A downstairs bedroom with an adjacent powder room offers endless flexibility. It can easily become a guest room, home office, or exercise room.

A full bathroom, linen closet, and dedicated upstairs laundry room complete the second floor. Enjoy a low-maintenance yard with mature landscaping, a grassy area for kids or pets to play, and a built-in BBQ with a mounted TV that's ready for summer cookouts, birthday parties, football Sundays, or simply relaxing after a long day. A two-car garage features built-in storage cabinets, making it easy to keep seasonal decorations, sporting equipment, and everyday essentials neatly organized. Located just minutes from Melinda Heights Elementary School, Altisima Park, scenic hiking and biking trails at O'Neill Regional Park, shopping, dining, and convenient access to the 241 Toll Road.
