About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to this exceptional modern home, where sleek lines, open spaces, and cutting-edge design come together to create a truly unique living experience. Home is being offered furnished including brands such as Brand Jordan, Bo concept, Rapport and Plank and Hide. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the open-concept floor plan, high-end finishes, and abundant natural light that flows through expansive windows, offering stunning west-facing views of the San Jacinto mountains. This home was stripped to drywall, and just a few of the upgraded features are the new double pane low E glass windows, the 5'' contemporary baseboards, frameless interior doors for a modern look, enclosing the atrium to create an expanded and custom chef's kitchen as well as a walk-in laundry room. Walls were removed for an open concept living space, hallway ceiling was raised by a foot for a more spacious feel and luxurious bathrooms were designed with all new floating cabinets and quartz countertops. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to blend form and function, creating a harmonious space perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. Step outside to your private backyard retreat with Western Mountain views, where a beautifully designed patio, lush landscaping, and ample space for dining and entertaining make it the perfect place to host guests. This home is centrally located in the valley for the best shopping and dining experiences!
