About This Home
As of November 2021As featured in Domino & Locale Magazine, this Raili Clasen designed four bedroom, three bathroom stunner of a home is a rare opportunity to achieve design-friendly functionality with plenty of space to spare. Situated on a large 8,600+ square foot lot featuring detached garage, outdoor fire pit, upgraded landscaping, surround sound offerings, and central air conditioning, this house is bursting with charm inside and out. Visitors are greeted with a porch-style entryway leading into a large, open-concept living area with sight lines to the remodeled kitchen, dining room, and a bonus area that looks out onto the recently-upgraded backyard. The private hedge-lined rear yard includes an expansive redwood deck, large gas fire pit, and separate private area in front of the garage complete with it's very own garden. Vaulted ceilings give this home a spacious feel with the ranch-style layout ideal for entertaining. Get ready to host friends and family using the house's whole-home audiophile smart speaker system, nest thermostat, & ring security system. The expansive master bedroom is a luxurious oasis looking out onto the backyard complete with en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and flowing layout. A bonus room can act as a 4th bedroom, multimedia room, playroom, game room, or anything in between - and hosts a closet space that has been converted into a quaint reading nook! The oversized air conditioned garage is a well-located, flexible space which can easily double as your at-home office, gym, or play area for kids. This is not your average white picket fenced home (although it has one of those too) and whoever ends up in this house is sure to be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood!
