The main entry is conveniently located at the side of the house near the large parking area that is just before the electric gate leading to an additional parking area and the three-car garage. As you enter, your eyes are drawn to the RTK tiles inset in the tile floor, and then to the living room's main focal point -- a cut sandstone fireplace with a handcrafted mantel.
The next space you encounter is the dining room, which is open to the living room and separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar. The tile floor from the living room continues into the dining room and kitchen, enhancing the open floor plan, while a wood, sliding door connects the dining room to the covered porch for convenient indoor-outdoor entertaining. A built-in buffet and two closets (or pantries) provide ample storage for everyday essentials and special occasion servingware.
Beyond the wainscoted breakfast bar is the large country kitchen, featuring handcrafted tiles imported from Sicily, a pantry with sliding shelves and two appliance garages for clutter-free counters. If you enjoy cooking or entertaining, you will love the amount of storage and work space in this well-designed kitchen.
As you move into the tiled hallway with RTK tile accents, the first room you come to is a spacious guest bedroom with an oak floor, large closet, ceiling fan and a sliding door to the covered, wrap-around porch. This comfortable room with its own entrance is ideal for long-term guests who are sure to enjoy the outdoor living area and convenience of the nearby guest parking area. The second guest bedroom also has a wood floor, ceiling fan and large closet. The guest bathroom features a tile floor and counter, wainscoting and a shower-bathtub combination.
Before you reach the master bedroom, you will see the conveniently located laundry alcove with built-in cabinets, a built-in ironing board and a tile counter.
The master bedroom is located at the end of the hall for enhanced privacy and has a wood floor, large closet, linen closet, a sliding door to the covered porch, and an en suite bathroom with a tile floor, shower and counter.
All of this is complimented by additional upgrades throughout the home, including a solar power system and Anderson doors and windows.

The interior of this home is well appointed for comfortable, everyday living, and it is easy to see how fun it might be to entertain friends and family members as they relax at the breakfast bar while you prepare food in the spacious kitchen or gather around the table for a holiday meal. But it is the exterior features and additional amenities that truly set this home apart and show just how special this property is.
It begins with the long driveway bordered by mature rose bushes that leads to the electric gate, which opens to reveal a large parking area, an approximately 702-square-foot, three-car garage, and a separate, approximately 520-square-foot studio or rec room. Permitted as a recreation room, this separate space has a large main area with a tile floor, two ceiling fans, lots of storage cabinets and a u-shaped coffee bar with a sink and additional cabinets. Off of the main room there is a spacious storage room and a half bathroom with a tile floor. Separate from the house and near the parking area, this could be used for a home office, art studio, sewing or craft room, yoga studio or other creative space. If you need additional space for your home business or hobbies, one of the bays in the finished, three-car garage is set up for use as a workshop.
There is a large, covered patio off of this studio for teaching outdoor art classes, using as a meditation space or simply enjoying time in your private backyard. There is also a wood deck at the back of the property where you can sit under a heritage oak tree and reflect on the day.

One of the most impressive and most welcoming exterior features is the wide, covered porch that wraps around three sides of the house. Offering multiple spaces for seating areas, al fresco dining or entertaining, this gorgeous wrap-around porch significantly increases the home's outdoor living space in a way that invites you to spend more time outdoors as you enjoy the valley's beautiful weather throughout the year.
Brick steps set between river rock pillars lead from the porch to a flagstone patio with a brick and river rock sitting wall. Around the patio you will find some of the fruit trees in the family orchard, which includes peach, apple, persimmon, avocado, orange, tangerine, lemon, lime, apricot and cherry trees.
Conveniently located raised garden beds make it easy to step outside for fresh herbs or produce when preparing meals, and the mature, drought-tolerant, ornamental landscaping that enhances the property's overall visual appeal and natural setting is on a timer-controlled irrigation system.
