A 55+ home with the backyard you've longed for... Some homes are special because of what's inside; 140 Montilla Circle is special inside and out. This beautifully renovated 2,040-square-foot Sterling model is a rare find in Heritage Park, and the real showstopper is the backyard. Inside, the popular Sterling floor plan offers two bedrooms plus an office/study, spacious living areas, a fireplace and formal dining area. Nearly $200,000 in recent improvements have transformed the home with a gorgeous gourmet kitchen, remodeled baths, new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, new electrical fixtures, highly energy-efficient HVAC system and water heater, leaf-guard gutter system and more. More than 1/4 acre lot includes two large, covered patios overlooking multiple lawn areas, a productive vegetable and herb garden, and a fenced rose garden with its own walking path. Redwood-lined fencing creates an extraordinary sense of privacy. A spacious side yard with double-wide gate access adds flexibility, while a grand entry pathway leads through the landscaping to a welcoming seating area. It's the kind of backyard that invites you to linger, garden, entertain and enjoy the outdoors and may be the very reason you fall in love with this home. The primary suite has direct backyard access, making this beautiful garden feel like an extension of the home. A yard of this size, privacy and character is exceptionally difficult to find in a 55+ community. Heritage Park offers the best of active-adult living: a fully gated community, 25,000-square-foot clubhouse, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, aerobics studio, ballroom, library, restaurant, five one-acre parks, trails, gardening, bocce ball, tennis, lighted pickleball and a vibrant social calendar.
