About This Home

As of March 2017

Arguably the most desirable location in The Lakes. This South facing Santa Fe boasts stunning golf, lake, mountain views. Views also include a charming bridge, stream, and fountain. This exceptional home has been exquisitely and extensively redesigned, resulting in the feel of a custom floor plan. The Santa Fe includes the coveted side yard for private outdoor living. The beautiful side courtyard is complete with professional landscaping, tile, and luxurious spa. The kitchen and living room areas have been opened up with upscale architectural features. The master bath has been extensively renovated with a walk in shower, tub, and dual sink vanity. The extended back patio, complete with built in barbecue, wraps around to the side courtyard for maximum entertainment possibilities. The upgrades aren't just cosmetic, but include details such as tiled garage floor, new A/C and ductwork. See attached document for full description of upgrades. The Lakes CC offers outstanding value.
