About This Home
As of August 2023All the grandeur of a large estate without all the maintenance and upkeep costs. Recently updated and refreshed, this unforgettable property offers sprawling square footage, voluminous rooms, luxurious amenities, and views that only large ranches usually possess.
On the edge town, overlooking all of Solvang's splendor, is a lovely property with breathtaking vistas that offers quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail throughout. This prized lot was originally owned by the neighborhood's developer and designed for his own family. With over 4,500+/- square feet of elegant living space, plus a detached casita of approximately 360+/- square feet featuring a full bathroom, and a three-car garage measuring 790+/- square feet, this house was purposefully designed for hosting gatherings, accommodating remote work, and welcoming extended family and friends. Inside the recently refreshed house, you'll find 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, a sunken formal living room adorned with an impressive fireplace, a formal dining room, a spacious kitchen with a central island, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. The breakfast dining area is inviting, and the family room is complete with cozy fireplaces and expansive wrap around picture windows. The backyard is an absolute dream with ample patio space, a pool perfect for entertaining with swim-up barstools, a sunken bar, BBQ area, and a spa that gracefully cascades into the pool. This exceptional property is ideally situated close to town to enjoy all the nearby wine tasting rooms, restaurants, shops, and the adjacent golf course!
