About This Home

As of February 2025

A breathtaking Oasis! The perfect combination of Indoor and Outdoor Space. Upon entering the etched concrete driveway, don’t miss the amazing slate and stone pond with two waterfalls. What a way to greet your friends, family and guests. The main garage and covered breezeway, leading to the home, are set with tile flooring. This stunning home is perfectly nestled on a partially wooded lot, open outdoor retreat with tasteful hints of Southwestern flair offers a built-in cooking area with a large gas grill. The beautiful contemporary shaped pool offers a peaceful waterfall feature. The open walled pool lounge is perfect for getting out of the sun and still be a part of the festivities. Large storage shed for your pool, yard and gardening equipment as well as a second shed for any overflow or possibly a “She or He Shed!” Extensive landscaping to accent the home surrounded by 6ft high aluminum fencing. Stepping inside is just as inviting as the outdoor entertaining areas. There have been complete renovations during the ownership to make this home simply amazing. The kitchen is absolutely stunning and an entertainer’s dream. Plenty of space to prepare meals for even the largest of families or parties. The ceiling has been raised to accentuate this gorgeous open concept kitchen with a large L shaped, two-tiered granite countertop with bar and counter height seatings. A lovely wall of built-ins with a contemporary glass gas fireplace with natural stone surround. The main bedroom suite was remodeled in 2020 and there are 3 additional bedrooms. The main living space also offers a warm and inviting living room with a sunken family room and a second gas fireplace with a stone surround, flagstone hearth and timber mantle. There is also an additional 325 sq ft of lower level finished space with a full sized cedar closet. This home offers many upgrades that may not be noticeable. All the interior doors are solid doors. Full exterior painting 2022, whole house generator. The list could go on and on. There has been no expense spared for this exquisite property. This is a “must see property?
