    What's special

    Reimagined fireplace surroundGround-floor corner residenceCurated finishesClean linesSpacious walk-in closetUpgraded led lightingExceptional storage
    Refined. Private. Unexpected.An extraordinary offering within one of the area's most coveted gated enclaves, this bespoke, reimagined single-level* townhome delivers the rare balance of architectural pedigree and modern ease. Ideally positioned as a ground-floor corner residence, it lives with remarkable privacy--only one shared wall and a quiet, tucked-away presence that feels worlds apart.Originally designed by noted architect Bob Ray Offenhauser, the home has been thoughtfully transformed into a sophisticated, open-concept retreat. Every detail has been elevated--clean lines, curated finishes, and a seamless flow that makes daily living feel effortless and entertaining second nature.A private two-car garage with direct access, dedicated laundry, and exceptional storage--virtually unheard of at this level--underscore the home's practicality, while a newly installed stair-lift offers true single-level living from garage to residence.The outdoor experience is equally compelling. A generous, secluded patio--anchored by a striking fountain and framed by mature landscaping--creates a tranquil extension of the interior. Just beyond, a sunlit balcony off the kitchen captures leafy, serene views, blurring the line between indoors and out.The kitchen is both sculptural and functional, appointed with quartz surfaces, premium stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and a sleek tile backsplash. The primary suite opens directly to the patio through oversized sliding doors and offers a spacious walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with a glass-enclosed shower and sculptural soaking tub. A light-filled secondary bedroom enjoys treetop outlooks and its own beautifully appointed bath.Throughout, living and dining spaces are bathed in natural light, with windows that frame greenery from every angle--creating an atmosphere that is both calm and refined. Enhancements include upgraded LED lighting, a reimagined fireplace surround, newer water heater, and extensive system and cosmetic improvements.Moments from fine dining, boutique retail, and the scenic trails of the Arroyo Seco, the setting is as convenient as it is picturesque--lush, established, and quietly prestigious.A rare, turnkey residence--polished, private, and effortlessly livable.Accessed via stairs from garage or stair-lift to the single-level residence and gardens.
