About 281 W Sparkleberry Avenue
This stunning “Riverbend” residence located in Orange was built by Centex Homes in 2006 (though purchased by its original owners in 2009). As the primary model for the Thistlewood tract, the home reflects exceptional upgrades from the paint finishes, custom cabinetry & moldings, to the wainscoting, stunning hardwood floors & gourmet kitchen. Although it is a townhome it lives so much more like a single family residence with bright open rooms throughout. There are three bedrooms – all with ceiling fans & Berber style carpeting including the expanded master suite, + three bathrooms including the master with large tub, separate stall shower, dual sinks, zoned ceiling speaker, walk-in closet & balcony access. The kitchen has a granite island, extensive cabinetry & Whirlpool Gold Series stainless steel appliances. The adjoining family room with built-in media cabinet & gas fireplace opens to the intimate low maintenance patio area. There is also a small office/tech center, an upstairs laundry room & attached 2-car garage. Other features include dual pane windows, plantation shutters, whole house Cat-5 wiring, HDTV capable RG-6 TV & alarm system. Association privileges include a Junior Olympic pool & spa and a fantastic local sports park is just steps away.
