About This Home
Completely updated in 2021, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath single-story home in Castlewood Forest is truly one of a kind. Soaring vaulted ceilings extend through every major living space, the primary suite, and both secondary bedrooms, an architectural feature rarely found at this price point that creates a sense of openness and light throughout the entire home, not just the main living area. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering abundant natural light, all beneath those same soaring vaulted ceilings. The secondary bedrooms feature custom built-in lofts, adding versatile bonus space you won't find in a typical floor plan. Use them for extra storage, a play area, a reading nook, or a creative hideaway, the possibilities are endless. The chef's kitchen showcases quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a designer arabesque tile backsplash, a gas range, built-in oven, and a wine fridge. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated, including a spa-like primary suite bath with a double vanity, backlit mirrors, and a frameless glass shower. Set on a 0.314-acre lot with mature shade trees, the private backyard includes a spacious patio and a two-room flex building, one side perfect for a man cave, home office, or hobby space, the other giving you separate, dedicated storage. Major systems have been replaced, including a new HVAC system (7/2021), a new roof (12/2021), new windows, and a tankless water heater (3/2022).
