Not your typical home. This home was customized with over $100,000 of top quality material and design and style found rarely outside of the much higher custom areas. Some of the details are obvious...others are hard to pinpoint but add up to a whole different experience. You'll feel it almost immediately. The home is not like all the others in this price range. In fact, you won't find anything quite like this home...designed in the neo-classical style without being overbearing. Any pretentious feel of the home is balanced by the casual feel of the satillo flowing throughout the home. This may seem like an unlikely combination, but it actually works quite well in keeping a casual style which is what this house is alll about.
Take note of all of the details, not just the obvious differences...like the stately columns fauxed by talented hands. Enjoy the difference and know that this house is suitable for anyone's tastes. It's refreshing when expecting more of the same, but walking into something different. This is truly a "one-of-a-kind" house that you can feel proud to own and to entertain in. Professional and subtle antique faux wash in various styles add stimulation throughout every nook of the house without bein gaudy in any way whatsoever. You may take note of the crown molding throughout all the rooms of the house with flat ceilings, but you may not notice a more unusual feature of these ceilings. All of the ceilings have been "floated out", a subtle, yet distinctively clean look that really hits your subconscious after being so programmed to expect fully textured ceilings in almost any home you enter in the valley. There are some fun surprises in almost every light switch including hidden recessed lighting in the diningroom soffits that shine onto the ceililng...these, partnered with the dimmer lights shining down in each of the four art niches provide for a very special romantic or simply awe-inducing atmosphere. You'll also notice similiar hidden lights in the bathroom skylight. Take note of the custom kitchen island and striking glazed cabinetry---ahhh...something other than oak, maple or cherry! No need to fret---there is ample granite covering these spacious countertop areas and backsplash.
To be enjoyed from the entry, kitchen, diningroom and familyroom is a custom designed fireplace with a mix of two travertine colors contrasting nicely with lightly fauxed plaster columns and mantel. It's rare to find a mantel, let alone a long inviting hearth...all but extinct in contemporary gas fireplaces. Be sure to open the cabinetry and enjoy the witty custom options that---once you use---you'll wonder how you did without. The same goes for the laundry room with two built-in hampers for your coloreds and whites...and pull-outs for trash and recycling, a hang bar for clothes, built-in ironing board and space for a fridge, along with pantry space and lots of cabinets for making the best use of space. It's hard to imagine anything else you could possibly need in your laundryroom.
Think of how nice it'll be to have three spacious built-in bookshelves in this home's wide hallway to display your curios and those family and friend photos that put a simile on your face everytime you pass.
Your secondary rooms are NOT those tiny 10x10s---there is space to have a bed and to sit down in THESE rooms. Even a teenager could be satisfied in these spacious, well lit rooms. Storage aplenty in this house made for that most fastidious buyer. In addition to the built in cabinetry and pull down attic staircase in the garage, there is a long custom-built storage structure running parallel to the house on the east side--perfect for storing the jetskis, party supplies, yard tools, etc.
How many houses in a tract home development have four exterior exits other than the main entry---all leading to private and lush landscaped environments--each with its own flavor? Enjoy morning breakfast on the west patio off the kitchen surrounded by lush grass and bountiful citrus trees while greeting the friendly neighbors and enjoying a freshly picked orange or grapefruit (there are lemons too for the bold). Or...how about a barbeque off the south side of the house using the built-in grill and warmer across from the covered patio? Serve your side dishes out of the serving window to the covered wraparound bar.
From the masterbedroom, sneak out through the arcadia doors to enjoy late night dips in a truly A++ pool...take note of the tiled surface with mozaic sea animals....another atypical feature. If visiting at night, please make sure to have the fiberoptics turned on. Imagine laying in your bed with the remote and setting your choice of up to 8 colors or all 8 continually changing as they circle around the pool and work their way down the slide and waterfalls. This...added with the sounds of the waterfalls...is truly mesmorizing and will ensure pleasant dreams.
The front room pushes out from the front of the house like a peninsula, leaving the side open to the courtyard-like entry. To take advantage of this, french doors were added--not just for another opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, but also to create the perfect secluded home office with a private entrance. In winter, imagine leaving the doors wide open. An occassional glimpse of a hummingbird will keep you happy and productive as you go "humming" along with a smile on your face. It's a great entryway to relax and greet the neighbors when you've been alone in the office too long and have a craving to socialize. The 300sf room is well hidden from the rest of the house when clients visit...keeping your personal life separate from your work life. However, with architectural cutouts on the south wall and the east side left open, the floorplan remains open, airy with a wonderful spacious feel from the moment you enter. Consider using this room for a gameroom, hobby room, playroom or it's original intent---a formal livingroom. Across the hall are double glass doors leading to what was once the 4th bedroom. Although a spectacular set up for an assistant or his/her private offices, gameroom and a den, etc., the closet is still in place, as well as the door to the hallway, so transititioning this room back into a bedroom would not be a difficult task---nor would it adversely affect the feel of this fantastic home. It is currently used as the home office, while the front room is dedicated to TV entertainment.
Some of the concepts from the 70s and early 80s are really underappreciated. For instance, the master bath was remodeled but the sunken tub with the large picture window to the lighted garden atrium was left in place, while floor to wall travertine was added to enhance the luxurious touch this amenity brings to your mastersuite. Glass block and custom sized glass door finish off this bathing experience. You really need to experience this bath to fully appreciate the 70s appeal of a sunken tub...a feature sure to come back in style some day!
Although the sunken floor in the front was filled in, the old trash compactor was replaced with a new one. Whatever people say about them, I think it's the best invention since the dishwasher. It truly cuts down on your trips to the trash bin and is environmentally smart---just remember to put food items in the garbage disposal only and non-food items in the compactor. Remember...there is a built-in recycling pull-out close by as well!
Why do I know so much about this home?...because, of course, I am the owner. Although I've been gone for three years while it's been lovingly maintained by two wonderful sets of tenants, I still wish I could have brought it with me when I made my move to the downtown core. Whomever purchases this home will truly love it like everyone before. This home just "feels" good!!!
