Additional features include a formal dining room or office, spacious laundry room, convenient half bath, 6-inch baseboards, custom window sills, recessed lighting, 2-inch blinds, and a built-in sound system. Fireplaces in both the main living room and lower-level family room create cozy spaces to relax while enjoying the stunning landscape beyond. The luxurious primary suite offers a tray ceiling, an oversized walk-in closet with California-style organizers, and a spacious bath with a corner soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity, and abundant storage. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower combo complete the main level. The finished walkout lower level provides exceptional additional living space and opens directly to the beautiful backyard. Recent updates include a new roof, siding, gutters, downspouts, and brick mailbox in 2026, refrigerator in 2025, new water pressure pump, new garage door opener on the third bay, California Closet-style closet system, updated landscaping, and an HVAC system replaced approximately in 2023. Complete with a 3-car attached garage and a layout that comfortably accommodates aging in place, this is more than a home, it's a forever retreat where every day ends with a breathtaking sunset and a view you'll never tire of. This home is meticulously maintained and move in ready.
