From the Agent: "Kessler Woods is a gated enclave of only 30 homesites graced with a creek and community pocket parks. Each home is unique, and architect designed. The first-floor interiors are wrapped in stained pine, which gives the home a warm and inviting feeling. There are two living areas on the first floor, one with a fireplace and the second with a large kitchen/living space that opens through a wall of glass to the pool terrace. There are three bedrooms, all on the second floor. All of the bedrooms have beautifully designed built-in cabinetry and closets. Recently refinished bamboo floors are in the entry, stairwell, and throughout the second floor. There is a rear-entry, two-car carport with an attached storage room with a fan that has been waterproofed. This is one-of-a-kind design by a master architect that has been well maintained and updated by the current owners."
