    What's special

    Discover this custom-built 3 bedroom/3.5 bathroom residence that redefines luxury living. The house was custom-designed and built in 1997 within a private subdivision. Spanning some 4,700 square feet of meticulously designed living space, plus an approximately 700 finished square foot garage. As you approach the property, the exposed pebble cement driveway and the turnabout area showcases the attention to detail. Note the custom free-formed retaining wall as you drive up to a 3-car garage. The strategically located center garage will enable the new buyer to seamlessly transfer groceries directly into the kitchen. The modern kitchen, boasting contemporary finishes and ample counter space, becomes a hub of efficiency. You may also enjoy the ergonomically designed home flow plan showcasing the threshold-free solid oak wood and level tile flooring underfoot resulting in uninterrupted connections within the home from room to room. The dwelling is also equipped with tall windows, five skylights, and dimmable hi-hats throughout the main gathering area on the first floor, allowing you to set the perfect mood lighting for any occasion. The house also includes an active alarm system, a whole house fan, central vac., complete with an invisible electric dog fence. The recently finished basement features an open floor plan of about 2,000 square feet, offering numerous options for anything the local code will allow! Enjoy the ambiance created by adjustable color recessed lighting, complemented by polished untreated concrete flooring. The downstairs also features a half bath and laundry room strategically placed to minimize possible main floor water damage. Walk out the double doors that seamlessly connect to a pea gravel-covered service driveway. The landscaping was originally designed by professionals, including a screened- in rose garden accessible through the rear French doors. Come and enjoy space and privacy with just under 2 acres. Home is to be sold ''as is''.
