Dramatic vistas of rugged canyons, rolling hills and twinkling lights are enjoyed from indoor and outdoor living areas, including a spacious paver-finished rear patio and numerous indoor rooms that feature oversized picture windows. Custom glass entry doors provide a sleek and modern introduction to the single-level design, where high ceilings, clerestory windows, mitered windows and wood flooring combine to create a genuinely impressive atmosphere. A granite-framed fireplace warms the living room, an office awaits beyond interior French doors, and the dining room is large enough to accommodate memorable gatherings. Another fireplace and built-ins are featured in the family room, and an island kitchen with bar-height counter presents a walk-in pantry, granite countertops, a nook and stainless steel appliances including a built-in refrigerator. Sited on grounds that encompass nearly .87 acres, the three-bedroom, two- and one-half-bath home of approx. 3,052 s.f. features central AC, motorized window shades, a security system, drought-tolerant landscaping and a three-car garage.
