Property Description
This charming two-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is ideally situated in one of the community’s most desirable courtyards.

The downstairs bathroom has been remodeled and includes an additional storage room for added convenience. Both bedrooms are upstairs, offering natural light and a nice breeze that flows throughout. Additional improvements include all new grounded electrical outlets, updated doorknobs, new exhaust fans in both bathrooms, and new toilets.
