It’s not every day you can say you’ve found an absolutely complete home in a compelling location, featuring high end finishes completed for the builder himself. Welcome to 4001 Elm, an exceptionally stunning and move-in-ready single-story, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence accompanied by an additional permitted 1-bedroom ADU.

Past the laundry area and custom folding counter, the primary en suite creates a spa-like atmosphere with a custom dual vanity, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and, once again, finishes most only see on their Pinterest boards.Through the rear sliding doors of the primary suite, you’ll find a newly poured two-car parking pad, additional side storage, and a private side patio leading to the ADU. Built with family in mind, and with no detail or expense spared, the ADU mirrors the finishes of the main home while also featuring, but not limited to, central AC, in-unit laundry, a gas-burning range, a private patio, and details that truly need to be experienced in person.
