Inside, this newly renovated home feels fresh, functional, and move-in ready with warm flooring, recessed lighting, neutral paint, an updated kitchen, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a large undermount sink, and a clever built-in pantry/spice cabinet that makes the kitchen live larger than expected. The dining area opens naturally to the kitchen and living room, creating a comfortable layout for everyday meals, working from home, or hosting a friend for coffee. The spacious bedroom includes a walk-in closet, with additional built-in storage in the hall cabinet, kitchen pantry, and private side-by-side laundry closet on the patio, adding the kind of practical storage rarely found in a one-bedroom home. The full bathroom has been beautifully renovated with quartz counters, an undermount sink for easy cleaning, updated fixtures, tile flooring, and a tub/shower with classic subway tile and glass accent detail. The patio offers gentle morning light and shade later in the day—perfect for slow mornings, fresh air, or an evening unwind. Pheasant Creek is known for its peaceful natural setting with mature trees, streams, ducks, turtles, and walking paths throughout the community.

MLS values are reported for this listing, not prior sales. Observation dates show when our importer saw an asking price, not when the MLS changed it. Up to 24 observations are retained; changes between refreshes may be missed. This is not a complete price or sales history.
Property taxes

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
