Every room opens through sliding glass doors to a completely dialed-in backyard with a custom in-ground pool and spa, so the house lives indoor-outdoor while remaining private. The great room has tall ceilings finished in dark wood, a built-in fireplace, and a double-waterfall quartz island. Moroccan tile carries across the island, the cooking area, and the bar. Bedrooms are bright, with modern farmhouse doors. The primary suite has dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and floor-to-ceiling micro cement finished by hand, plus a closet bigger than some bedrooms. The THREE-CAR garage is fully finished with sealed floors, a sink, and a beverage cooler station next to its own rear facing garage door to the pool and spa. Game room, gym, workshop, or all three, there's space for it. Lot is in compliance with Cal Fire. You rarely see this level of quality at this price.
