Description
The kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, an oversized center island and a built-in desk; each bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the master suite boats an attached bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub. The home was built in 1990.
This contemporary style home, built in 1995 is located in a gated community. A $60,000 addition was put on three years ago that includes an extra bedroom and a family room. The home faces south, so the yard gets sun all year round.
Built in 1998, this brick home has a master bedroom with its own bathroom and a whirlpool tub, a wet bar in the dining room and 12-foot ceilings in the entryway.
