    What's special

    ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER! Spectacular sight lines and by anyone's measure, one of THE BEST twinkling city views from any two story great room in town. No matter what style home you believe you prefer, come here and saturate yourself in the visceral feelings that only open, airy, bright and fresh can create. Streaming sunlight in every room, the floor plan is open with generously sized spaces and an abundance of storage. The walk out lowest level doesn't feel or appear like a basement at all. Tall windows are all around leading into the glass surround, vaulted ceiling solarium. Several other spaces are also available for everything from exercise to media, wine and music. Custom crafted in 1988, this uniquely styled home can meet many different living needs and the fenced in tennis court can also be utilized as an all sports court for the extra level playing field. The upper and lower levels have so much untapped developmental potential with indescribably large, unfinished areas that may still be fitted out for more bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing or laundry rooms. It's this "pro forma" feature of the home's design that further catapults it into the category of unmatched value. Easy to show and even easier with which to fall in love, make your appointment and start placing your furniture. Property will go Active on August 31, 2020. Over the last 18 months the current owners have completed extensive tree removal work on the back acreage to further develop the city views. The lowest level rooms are all on slab with brand new waterproof flooring. The home is freshly painted in neutral tones with new carpeting and wallpaper removed. The landscaping has been professionally managed and includes newly installed exterior front hardscapes. Please note that at the time of going Active there will still be a few tradesmen at the home finishing their work.
