Welcome to this charming stone Mid-Century Split-Level home, perfectly perched on a beautifully landscaped lot with views of the street and golf course. A graceful slate staircase leads to the main entrance and a front patio, offering a peaceful place to enjoy the scenery.

The convenient circular layout flows into the dining room that opens to the updated kitchen, which is well-appointed with abundant white cabinetry, sleek black granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a double sink with disposal, and a thoughtfully designed layout that makes entertaining and everyday living a breeze. Just off the kitchen, a private backyard oasis awaits—complete with a patio, firepit, and garden beds overlooking neighboring green spaces.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
