This large 2,504 square foot home boasts two spacious living spaces, a formal dining room, library, primary suite and an attached ADU above its 3 car garage. The gourmet kitchen has been tastefully renovated with high end finishes, stainless steel appliances, and ample countertop space, seamlessly flowing into the living room and outdoor areas - ideal for entertaining. All bathrooms are fully upgraded with dual sinks and walk in showers and heated floors. Off the living room, a private wine cellar is perfect for collectors or entertainers alike. Builder was meticulous in crafting the mahogany window casings, inlays for decor, and wood beamed ceilings. Truly must see to appreciate. Above the attached garage, is a quaint Granny Suite / ADU with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom providing the perfect setup for guests or rental income. In addition to the main house, there is a spacious 2 car garage outbuilding for toys and recreation.
