About This Home

As of July 2025

Rarely on the market, this magnificent South Coast Metro Award Estates masterpiece boasts 3,020 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including an en-suite bedroom downstairs with its own private entrance. Approximately $150k in upgrades throughout, featuring central A/C, rich plank-style hardwood and tile flooring, dual pane windows with custom casements and blinds, extensive crown molding, LED recessed lighting, exquisite crystal light fixtures, raised panel interior doors, mirrored cedar-lined closets, and a breathtaking chef’s dream kitchen with quartz countertops, a waterfall peninsula with seating and pendant lights, marble mosaic backsplash, stainless professional-grade appliances including a Jenn-Air 6-burner gas range and built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, plus white shaker cabinetry with chic gold hardware, glass display panels, and triple-wide pantries. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a large family room with quartz wine bar and a stacked marble electric fireplace with custom chiseled surround and mantel. Walls of windows and sliders look out to the tranquil backyard with covered patio, paver decking, raised planters, and outdoor lighting—perfect for evening dining and entertaining. No detail has been overlooked, from the stunning curb appeal with 3-car garage, drought-tolerant landscaping, flagstone walkway, and a huge wrought iron and stacked stone gated private courtyard entry, to the beveled glass double door entry that opens to an impressive two-story foyer with artistic inlay and a dramatic sweeping hardwood and wrought iron staircase illuminated by a skylight. The spectacular primary suite offers a spacious retreat, two mirrored closets (including one walk-in), and a luxurious spa-style bathroom with quartz counters, sit-down vanity, dual sinks, walk-in shower, and jetted soaking tub. All bedrooms are extra spacious and all bathrooms are beautifully remodeled with quartz and designer fixtures. Additional highlights include a full bath and powder room downstairs, inside laundry room, elegant formal living and dining rooms, and a finished garage with built-in storage. Nestled on an interior cul-de-sac in a highly desired neighborhood with underground utilities and just steps to the park. Close to fine dining, entertainment, shopping, excellent schools, and only a short drive to coastal beaches.
