Gorgeous curb appeal welcomes you with a lush lawn, mature shade tree, rose garden, fragrant jasmine gracefully growing over the garage door, and a slate walkway leading to a custom front door with three panels of leaded glass and an operable sidelight for refreshing cross breezes.

The elegant formal living room showcases a granite fireplace with handcrafted wood surround and mantel, creating a warm and inviting setting. The spacious family room and dining area flow seamlessly into the upgraded kitchen featuring granite countertops, breakfast bar, deep stainless sink, reverse osmosis water system, a convenient inset spice and oil nook, and an abundance of solid wood cabinetry with hand-blown glass display panels. Just off the kitchen is a convenient inside laundry room with additional pantry storage. A true highlight of the home is the solarium-style sunroom with tile flooring and walls of glass that frame lush backyard views, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living and creating a serene retreat for relaxation or entertaining. The tranquil backyard features two flagstone-accented patios, soothing fountains, lawn, mature trees, and a variety of fruit trees and garden herbs including Anna’s apple, guava, orange, and cherimoya, along with African blue basil, bay laurel, spearmint, epazote, and vibrant bougainvillea—an ideal private oasis. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with tile flooring, custom vanities, and designer tile surrounds; the hall bath offers a tub/shower combo with multiple shower heads and linen storage, while the primary ensuite features a walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure.
