Occupying a massive 12,000SF corner lot on a residential cul-de-sac,this home offers ample space with 5 bedrooms,2.5 bathrooms,and a truly one-of-a-kind 1,500+SF garage. Capable of accommodating 9+ cars,high-top Sprinter vans,RVs,boats, the garage is the car collector’s dream,rare to come by. The sheer volume of this space,14' height within,and access front-to-back with massive 12’ roll-up doors at both front and rear of the structure,the potential is endless (It’d be hard-pressed to ever recreate in a neighborhood like this again) Upon arrival, the curb appeal from the street is stunning from the oversized garage doors,charming blue & white exterior,original flagpole,farmhouse rail fencing,a beautiful corner tree with swing chair, and low maintenance turf yard.

The chef’s kitchen was fully remodeled with shaker cabinetry,stainless appliances,subway tile,farmhouse sink,and quartz counter tops. In the backyard,sliding doors lead to a massive turf yard on one side and on the other, additional pull-through parking/patio space(space for many uses:sport court, ADU, pool),divided by low fencing with new landscaping and perimeter fencing enclosing the expansive spaces. Additionally,the south side of the property offers parking for a full-size RV.
