Short sales are when the owner of a property with a mortgage and/or liens on the house sells the property for less than what they owe to the lienholder. Many times this is a way to avoid foreclosure, help eliminate the under water mortgage due to a financial hardship, or other circumstances. Many times short sales are able to sell below market value providing the buyers with a great deal. The banks like short sales as they can avoid a costly foreclosure, but they aren't willing to sell the property for pennies on the dollar. They still have the option of foreclosing on the property and selling it later on for more than a low offer.

Step into this meticulously updated 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home, offering over 2,000 square feet of living space set on a generous lot spanning more than half an acre. From the moment you step inside, the care and craftsmanship are obvious — quartz countertops and sleek, updated appliances anchor the fully remodeled kitchen, while updated lighting, flooring, fixtures, and cabinetry carry that same attention to detail through every room. The main level features an easy, open flow between the kitchen, breakfast bar, and adjoining living and dining spaces, along with three bedrooms — one currently used as a stylish home office — and a full bath finished with a soaking tub and tiled surround. A standout mudroom and laundry area, complete with its own dog wash station and a cozy sitting nook, rounds out the first floor. Head upstairs to find a spacious primary retreat with a bonus sitting area, custom built-in storage, and a full bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower. Thoughtful updates take the guesswork out of ownership: an updated upstairs HVAC system, updated second-floor windows, and a newer tankless hot water heater keep things running efficiently, backed by a roof replaced on both the house and garage in 2024. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard built for entertaining, complete with a large deck and a charming gazebo, plus a two-car garage offering extra storage. With shopping, dining, and freeway access just minutes away, this is a rare chance to own a home where every detail has already been taken care of.
