Freshly retextured and painted interior, recently redone roof with transferable warranty, great curb appeal, generous yard, private RV hookup and a neighborhood park on the way. The family's little desert tortoise may even be available for adoption. After 36 years with one family, this special home is ready to become part of yours.
