Comfortably nestled on a nearly 18,000 square foot lot near a quiet cul-de-sac with over 3,000 square feet of living space, this home features beautiful mountain views and many well established trees. As you enter the home a spacious foyer welcomes and completely surrounds you with original dark wood paneling illuminated by a half dozen roof line windows. The jewel of this home is the stunning living room with its richly hued A-frame ceiling, built extravagantly out of solid wood. Huge floor to ceiling windows shower the room with natural light. Adjacent is a grand formal dining room, large enough to entertain many guests. Mid-century modern design shines through in the placement of dining, living and family rooms directly off the charming wrap-around wooden deck. Mature landscaping and a wood slat cover offer deck users tranquility, privacy and shade. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a convenient dining nook for informal meals. A built-in hollow wooden bench provides hidden storage. Nearby is a large laundry/utility room with even more storage and a deep rectangular sink. The kitchen opens to an inviting family room with wood beamed ceilings and a large Malm-style gas fireplace in the center of the room. This home offers six bedrooms: A primary bedroom with plenty of closets and a full bathroom with a step-in closet, and five additional bedrooms - 2 with built-in desks. There are also 1 full and 1 3/4 hall bathrooms. Original hardwood floors are found throughout most of this lovely home. The backyard features a large, flat covered area with built-in seating around and a gas fire pit. The large rectangular gated pool with slide and diving board is surrounded by nature for even more privacy. A two car attached garage with a temporary wall creates an additional storage room. With a little TLC this home will show your true pride of ownership!
