About This Home
Welcome home! Tucked away in a quiet, close-knit community, this light-filled split-level offers a rare blend of design, flexibility, and long-term value. Expansive European windows span the upper level, flooding the home with natural light and framing sweeping territorial views. Multiple opening configurations and built-in electronic blinds make entertaining effortless year-round. The open-concept main level is anchored by a gourmet kitchen with island, perfect for hosting, while guests gather around the cozy wood-burning fireplace on crisp fall and winter evenings. Step through the European patio doors to a spacious backyard—ideal for summer barbecues, play, and outdoor living. Downstairs, soaring ceilings reveal a fully built-out ADU space featuring a bedroom, full bathroom, complete kitchen, living area, and fireplace—just awaiting a formal access point. Whether used for multi-generational living, guests, or rental income, the flexibility here is unbeatable. Add in a two-car garage for projects, storage, or even a home office, and the possibilities are endless! Perched on a bluff overlooking the city and mountain range, this home also delivers outstanding convenience with quick access to SR-167 and I-405. A compelling opportunity for both owner-occupants looking to plant roots and savvy investors alike—this is one you won’t want to miss!
