A great sense of community exists in this development, with friendly, respectful neighbors. The house, Venice model, is the largest model in the development, the assessor records show it as a 5 bedroom, but it was optioned as 3 bedroom, 1 optional room and a loft. Three bedrooms upstairs with optional office, exercise room or bedroom plus a large bonus loft area. This home boasts many upgrades; such as, a Nest thermostat, quality wool carpeting and travertine-tile flooring, Milgard windows, reverse osmosis water system in the kitchen, granite counters and upgraded cherry cabinets throughout. The home sits on the canyon and promotes privacy and beautiful panoramic ocean and sunset views. The gourmet kitchen, with its high-end appliances, will delight the cook in the home and the separate dining room is the perfect place to serve these meals. Ample storage throughout, with storage space also in the garage and attic. The travertine fireplace in the family room creates a cozy atmosphere for gatherings or quiet evenings. The upstairs owner’s suite includes a soaking tub with a spacious closet featuring an Elfa Custom organizational system. Gorgeous back yard is designed with low-maintenance drought tolerant landscaping and includes a built-in gas Barbeque and a raised patio seating area. Both the recently updated LED landscape lighting and sprinkler systems are automated! This makes it so easy to "lock and leave", although with this well-appointed home and the amazing views, you may just want to stay put. Low HOA fees allow you to enjoy a large heated community pool, two spas, two kids play parks, picnic and recreation park, and optional RV/boat parking lot, all with NO MELLO-ROOS!
