Description

Set against a lush hillside backdrop, this single-story residence offers privacy, scale, and resort-style living. A gated driveway and separate gated RV parking are complemented by stacked-stone planters, brick-accented walkways, and curated landscaping with subtle lighting, creating a composed and welcoming arrival. The front porch introduces brick flooring and architectural lighting, opening through elegant iron-accented double doors into a thoughtfully designed interior. The foyer features herringbone tile, exposed beam detailing, and recessed lighting, with clean sightlines into the home’s primary living spaces. The living room is anchored by a bay window with plantation shutters overlooking the front yard, while the formal dining room is defined by French doors, a coffered ceiling, and a statement chandelier. The kitchen has been reimagined with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, brushed brass hardware, and designer pendant lighting. Stainless steel appliances include a gas cooktop with vent hood, a built-in oven and microwave, and a full-size refrigerator, with a peninsula providing casual seating. The family room offers vaulted beam ceilings, recessed lighting, and a stacked-stone fireplace with raised hearth. French doors open to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, with plantation shutters adding architectural continuity and privacy. The primary suite features plantation-shuttered windows, a slider with direct access to the rear patio, a walk-in closet, and a sliding barn door leading to the ensuite bath. The primary bathroom is finished with a long dual-sink quartz vanity, brushed brass fixtures, illuminated mirrors, and a walk-in shower clad in large-format tile with a hex-tile niche detail. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closets and shuttered windows, one with bamboo flooring. The hall bathroom mirrors the home’s finishes with a quartz vanity, modern fixtures, illuminated mirrors, and a tiled shower-tub surround. Outdoors, the backyard is designed as a private retreat with a pool and spa, expansive patios with stone inlays, a covered rear patio, built-in barbecue, and a central fire pit, all framed by mature palms and natural hillside greenery. The wide, fully gated driveway offers ample parking and access to the garage offering epoxy floors, a tankless water heater, and a Tesla charger. Additional upgrades: smooth finished interior drywall, owned solar and blown-in insulation.
