Inside, the gourmet kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, slab granite countertops, a large center island, trash compactor, custom stone backsplash, pantry, ceiling fans, and a cozy breakfast nook. The formal dining room captures beautiful views of the mountains and pool, perfect for elegant gatherings.
The spacious great room is designed for comfort, featuring an entertainment niche, surround sound, ceramic tile flooring, and custom window treatments. A separate den can easily function as an additional sleeping space, and the powder room serves as a three-quarter bath for added convenience.
The primary suite offers upgraded recently remodeled dual vanities, a large beautiful shower, and a walk-in closet. All bedrooms are upgraded with new carpet, custom drapes, insulating drop-down shades, ceiling fans, and updated fixtures. The casita is perfect for caretaker, guests or extended stays.
Outdoors, enjoy beautiful dual paved patios with patio roof shade structures, framing a sparkling saltwater pool with waterfalls and rockwork, and spa ideal for relaxation or entertaining. The three-car garage comes fully outfitted with built-in cabinets, a workbench, and an evaporative cooler.
