This is a very light and airy home with a freeflowing, wide open floor plan that focuses on the huge, centrally located kitchen with an island food prep counter. On one side of the kitchen is a large formal dining area with bay windows and a full wall of custom cabinets. The opposite side of the kitchen features a combination informal dining area and great room with dramatic cathedral ceilings. The kitchen has both can lighting and drop down fixtures and is fully appointed with an array of custom cabinets and an under the counter Whirlpool reverse osmosis water purifier system. This is a kitchen sure to please any cook. All of the living areas have custom engineered wood plank flooring. The bedrooms are nicely sized and the private master features a private outside exit, a huge walk-in closet, and a master bath that has a soaker tub and double headed shower plus separate linen cabinets. The walk-in closet has a pull down stair to a huge attic storage space. Off of the dining room is a fully equiped utility room that has direct access to both the outside and the garage plus a full third bathroom. The garage is enormous, over 850 square feet, with two outside exit doors, automatic door opener, and vinyl plank flooring. It also has access to a second large attic storage area. Heating and cooling are provided by a high efficiency HVAC system and the home is equipped with both a whole house fan and a Whirlpool water softener. Now for the coup-de-grace... this home is equipped with a roof mounted 20 panel, state of the art and fully monitored Unlimited Energy 2.4 KW solar energy system that knocks the socks off of your PG&E bill.

The 5 acre lot has plenty of visual appeal with a variety of unique rock features, plenty of mature trees and a seasonal creek. While there isn't a lot of extra useable area, there is enough for additional outbuildings and garden areas. The real beauty of the parcel is its very private setting and expansive western views... a truly serene place to call home.

How about any negatives? There aren't many. The owners put their focus on equipping the home as completely as possible. Their final plan was to complete the kitchen and baths with custom granite counters but budget constraints necessitated going with Formica... very tasteful but not quite to the level of the rest of the home. The home has a front patio to enjoy the western views but the planned trellis cover was never completed. The home does have a complete automatic sprinkler system but it does need some repairs. Property location is about 10 miles from the highway, so commute sensitive buyers will have a little longer travel time to town. The roads, however, are very nice and it is a small price to pay for such a brilliant setting with so many quality features.

This isn't your run of the mill property... it's a great blend of a scenic and view-oriented parcel with a beautifully designed custom residence that is chalk full of unique features that you won't find in other homes. I promise that you will be impressed with this property. Showing is by appointment only to pre-qualified buyers.
