This home has no neighboring units directly behind (backing to a buffer area with a nearby tot lot), adding to the relative privacy of the space. On the entry level of the home you'll find a convenient coat closet, access to the garage, and laundry and utility rooms.

With a privacy-fenced backyard (with gate access to the common area), brick patio, landscape beds, and an entertainment-ready deck just a flight of steps up to the middle/kitchen level, it's an ideal scenario for easy outdoor entertaining and relaxation. In the middle level of this home, is a centrally-located kitchen with large island, pantry, ample cabinetry, and plenty of counter space.

A convenient recently-updated powder room is directly off of the kitchen, ideal for visitors and quick trips in from the deck. Upstairs, a serene retreat awaits--a spacious primary bedroom featuring vaulted ceilings, sitting area space, TWO generous walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a relaxing soaking tub and separate shower--all with views of the scenic Western mountainscape.
