Situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.72-acre corner lot, this West Coast rancher offers 2,479 sqft of tastefully finished living space, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. An open-concept living area is designed for relaxation and entertainment, with a cozy fireplace that adds warmth and charm, while the dining area easily accommodates formal gatherings and intimate meals, and the spacious patio extends the entertainment space outdoors. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring high-end appliances, ample counter and island space, and a patio off this area, which is perfect for casual outdoor dining.

In addition to a double garage, extra parking is available at the back of the property fronting Harwood Drive; a versatile spot, this area could easily be grassed for play, become a garden for those with a green thumb, or even a pool, if preferred. Low maintenance, attention to detail throughout, and an unparalleled location will allow you to experience the Island lifestyle at its finest.
