GO GREEN!!!!!


Escape to one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Lake Havasu City, just steps away from our beautiful desert. This spacious home offers a very open floor plan with accent lighting throughout, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,670 square feet of living space, a living room, and a family room. The back yard is truly a private escape with a heated pool and spa. Adding to the long-term value of the home is the newly installed solar system. During the winter months, when energy use is lessened, the electric bill will be drastically reduced or eliminated. This will save you thousands in just a few short years. GO GREEN and call Carol (928) 854-3430 today for a guide through tranquil ambiance.
