The chef's kitchen showcases high-end cabinetry, extensive counter space, and a 13-foot waterfall-edge island perfect for entertaining, all overlooking your stunning yard and pool. Premium appliances, including a paneled fridge and built-in wine fridge, complement the space, while French doors lead to the outdoor kitchen grill. Traditional craftsmanship meets modern luxuries in the living area, where custom built-ins flank a fireplace. The home's entertaining capabilities are enhanced by built-in surround sound and thoughtfully placed recessed lighting throughout. Huge sliding doors reveal a private outdoor oasis featuring a sun-kissed pool and spa with outdoor shower, generous turf lawn, and a covered California room with fireplace. Privacy hedges and walls create a secluded retreat. This is California living at its best! The primary suite features cathedral ceilings and direct access to the pool and spa for a quick dip, complemented by a luxurious primary bathroom featuring marble floors, an oversized frameless shower, and a generous walk-in closet with custom professional organizers. Two additional bedrooms, each with ample closet space, share a well-appointed jack-and-jill bath with double sink, and all the bedrooms are quietly tucked away from the common areas. Practical amenities include extensive hallway storage, a powder bath, and a mudroom featuring classic tile floors leading to your attached 2-car garage. Situated in prestigious Westcliff/Dover Shores, this home offers easy access to nearby Mariner's Park, top-rated schools, hiking and biking, Castaways trail, and the Back Bay.
