Welcome to 973 Ferndale Drive, a beautifully maintained single-level home in the desirable Monte Verde neighborhood--perfectly positioned just across from the community's charming pocket park. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers elegant touches throughout, including crown mouldings, baseboards, and detailed casings. The third bedroom is currently set up as a retreat off the primary suite but can easily be converted back to a separate room by relocating the doorway. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring granite countertops, wear-resistant porcelain tile floors, stainless-steel appliances, a center island, generous cabinetry, and a custom garden window - great for day-to-day living and entertaining friends & family. A cozy family room opens to the backyard, while the formal living and dining rooms sit just off the entry. Step outside to a sun-dappled yard with a covered patio, mature citrus trees, vibrant bougainvillea, bottlebrush, roses, and geraniums that provide color and fragrance year-round. The home includes a 2-car garage plus driveway parking for two more vehicles. Ideally located near schools, parks, shopping & dining destinations, and major commuter routes--this is a must-see!
