This beautiful home in CREST is located on 2.11 acres with numerous avocado and citrus trees. Split level living with separate entrances make this a very unique home with abundant living space. The main living level offers a wonderful open living space with vaulted ceilings and beautiful views from every window. The enormous kitchen provides an induction cooktop and convection double ovens along with separate refrigerator and freezer & a walk-in pantry. There is a dedicated dining space with wet bar area for those big Thanksgiving dinners or you could potentially transform this into a great game room or library (so many choices!). Enjoy three bedrooms and two huge bathrooms on the main level with the Master Bedroom located separate from the other two bedrooms. On the lower level you will find a mud room of sorts, game room, and two additional living spaces as well as an additional full bathroom and separate laundry room. The outside deck is perfect for entertaining with views all around you. There are two large aviaries on the property previously used for chickens, but could be transformed to kennels and what ever else you can imagine. There is also a one car garage, workshop and plenty of room for RV parking.
