A stunning home loaded with upgrades on a premium Rancho Viejo lot. This single level home in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood has two beautiful courtyards, green space on two sides (hundreds of acres of trails, open space, and arroyos at its doorstep) plus mountain views. The open concept layout includes a kitchen graced with upgraded cabinets and lighting fixtures, granite counter tops, joyful backsplash tile, pullout shelves for pots and pans, and a spice cupboard. Upgrades include three mini-splits for those hot summer days, and radiant in floor heat to warm your toes, top-down / bottom-up Hunter-Douglas blinds throughout (blackouts in the primary bedroom), and a new high-end hot water heater. The home is wired as a Smart Home (lights, door bell, audio). When activated, you can light the entire house (including the gas kiva fireplace) by saying “turn house on”. The floor plan features full separation between primary and guest bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a well appointed bath with jetted tub and a separate, spacious shower, plus a large walk-in closet with barn door entry. Surrounded by beautiful low maintenance landscaping, the upgraded exterior detailing of this home is evident. The impressive entry features a custom iron gate, flagstone pillar details, circular flagstone patio and walkways. The rear patio has a BBQ area and sail shade poles with hammock fixtures. To summarize, it’s a lovely modern urban home in a park-like setting ~fifteen minutes from the plaza.
