The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and enjoys easy access to the updated hall bath with tiled walls and walk-in shower. The guest bedroom opens to the backyard, where a prolific mature orange tree stands alongside a plentiful Meyer lemon tree. The third bedroom also ideal as a den has wood paneling, sliders to the backyard, and an updated en-suite bath with skylight over the shower. Additional features include recessed lighting throughout, linen storage, and a spacious backyard with low-maintenance landscaping, covered patio, and spa. An attic offers abundant storage space.
