About This Home

Exposed-beam ceilings over an open layout fill with light through the day, looking out across the tree-tops, city, and hills. The kitchen sits at the heart of it, with granite counters and stainless appliances opening into the living room, then on to two bedrooms with brand-new hardwood floors the second one opening to the backyard, easy as a home office or guest room. Out back, a fenced yard with a fire pit for slow evenings, and Flat Top Park is a ten-minute walk away with 270-degree city views, perfect for a morning walk or Fourth of July fireworks.
