Property Id: 2395810
Families and working professionals have been here for years. Neighbors say hi. Dogs get walked. Kids ride scooters. It’s peaceful and... quiet, but never sleepy.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light and features soaring 20-foot ceilings, oversized rooms, and a layout ideal for families or WFH couples who want true separation of space. It offers the feel of a single-family home without the maintenance burden.
Tucked in the heart of Temescal, you’re steps from everything, yet far enough removed to feel calm at the end of the day.
