The grand & sophisticated main home features 4 beds, plus an office that can easily be converted into a 5th bed, & 3 baths. Adjacent to the main house is a fully permitted ADU/guest house with 2 beds & 1 bath. The first floor of the main home showcases impressive architecture with vaulted ceilings & a spacious living & dining area. The chef’s kitchen is a delight, featuring elegant wood cabinetry, beautiful stone countertops, a double sink, a walk-in pantry, & a built-in dining nook with a tabletop that matches the kitchen countertops.

The upgraded bathroom boasts marble walls, a large walk-in shower, & dual vanities, with a small patio area just outside the sliding back door. The entire property has been meticulously updated & maintained by long-term owners. It features two separate solar systems, including a Tesla backup battery, resulting in electrical generation that exceeded usage over the past year. The home has been fully re-plumbed with PEX, & brand-new Anlin windows were installed in both the main house & the guest house within the past year. The backyard offers a resort-like ambiance with multiple entertaining & seating areas.

This kitchen is equipped with a BBQ grill, counter seating, a fire table, a prep sink, a drink cooler, accent lighting, & an overhead fan/light. An adjacent lighted gazebo provides additional entertainment space, while a cozy nearby seating area is perfect for a firepit.

The property also features a spacious swim spa with a seating deck. The swim spa can be heated as a giant hot tub or kept cooler for swimming & exercise. For gardening enthusiasts, the mini-farm includes 2 fenced areas: one with 4 raised garden beds equipped with irrigation, & another for raising chickens, complete with a chicken coop. Both areas are protected with overhead netting to safeguard the chickens & keep pests out of the garden. The mostly flat property also includes a terraced section with a variety of fruit trees & garden beds brimming with blueberries & raspberries. In total, there are 15 fruit trees, including 3 types of avocado (Reed, Haas, & Fuerte), citrus trees, apples, nectarines, pomegranates, & more.
