BEAUTIFUL HOME IN DESIRABLE VALENCIA NORTHBRIDGE on quiet, cul-de-sac street!

Updated from top to bottom, this home has plantation shutters and hardwood floors in the main living areas. The updated kitchen has a tile backsplash, Caesarstone counters, stainless appliances, pull out drawers in the pantry cabinets, a large pot rack, and a skylight making the kitchen light and bright for cooking or entertaining.
