IMPROVED PRICE! Tucked away amid towering oaks on a secluded cul-de-sac, this contemporary Craftsman-style home, designed and built by Mursol,, has been beautifully maintained by its original owners. Sited to afford the utmost in privacy, the builders took advantage of the majestic surroundings to create an architectural masterpiece that will surely impress. A stone-clad covered veranda with an artisan entry welcomes you to the two-story foyer displaying neutral tones, rich hardwood floors and impeccable mill work. Stately fireplaces adorn the living and family rooms along with plantation shuttered windows. In the dining room, elegant wallpaper adds a timeless appeal and French doors lead to the patio to let you take your meals alfresco. A gourmet, 5-star kitchen was upgraded to equip the modern chef with premium appliances (including a built-in oven, a wine cooler, and a Wolf range) and a "Halo" water-purification system. Gorgeous cabinetry, a breakfast nook, and granite countertops extending to the prep island complete this expanded culinary space. Truly an inviting escape, the primary suite features a balcony, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like 5-piece bath with a freestanding soaking tub. The upper level offers three more bedrooms (one of them with en-suite bath) and a full bath. In addition, there are two versatile bonus rooms with an east-facing deck overlooking picturesque mountain and city light views. A peaceful, private haven, ideal for entertaining, the manicured grounds have a well-sized patio with a built-in BBQ and fridge. Other noteworthy items include a large laundry room, dual-zone HVAC, security system, and custom copper gutters that all drain underground to exit in the driveway. An attached, two-car garage completes this amazing abode that will not last long on the market.
