The backyard is the reason to come see this one. Pool, covered patio, a half basketball court with the hoop set down into the concrete, a gazebo up the hill, two storage sheds, and a detached 20x13 building with power, water and lighting already run to it.

Inside, six bedrooms and three baths across 2,477 sq ft. Two bedrooms sit downstairs with a full bath, which covers a home office, a guest suite, or main floor living. Kitchen and all three baths remodeled, quartz counters with matching quartz backsplash, new cabinets, stainless appliances. Luxury vinyl plank across the first floor, brand new carpet upstairs, vaulted ceilings, custom shutters, white stone fireplace, three new sliding doors to the yard. The primary suite opens to a private balcony built for shade.

About those August afternoons. There is a whole house fan, so the cool evening air does the work instead of the air conditioner. And the part photos cannot show you, the entire home has been repiped in PEX.

Three car garage with an epoxy floor and a drive through bay to the backyard for the boat. Artificial turf out front, very low water. Almost a quarter acre in central Murrieta. No HOA, low tax rate, Murrieta Valley Unified.

Come stand in the backyard. That is where people decide.
