Green & Serene: a location unlike any other. Tucked away at the end of a private lane, on a flat .39 acre lot sits this breathtaking modern home constructed in 1996. The Spanish style exterior delights with a clay tile roof, gorgeous front door and verdant landscape. Soaring 20+ foot ceilings greet you at the front door and a sunny, open layout promises great spaces for daily life and definitely for entertaining. Two living spaces and a formal dining area with enormous picture windows offer views of the surrounding trees and nature. The sensational, sprawling (newer) kitchen will bring you pure joy: featuring white cabinetry, stainless appliances, open shelving, Quartz slab countertops and massive deep blue island with seating for 3 4. The primary suite is a haven to dream of retreating to each day. Double doors welcome you in, leading to a spacious walk in closet with a custom organization system, a beautifully updated bath featuring a stall shower and soaking tub, and a deck overlooking the private backyard. One bedroom plus a full bathroom downstairs ensures that your guest room/ working from home/ older child situation works here. Hardwood floors grace the first floor, and brand new high end lighting from Walnut Creek Lighting Company illuminate the first floor beautifully. The brilliant window placement offers natural light throughout the day, while still offering privacy from the neighboring home. A spacious three car garage ensures plenty of storage, place to park, or the potential gym setup that you've been hoping for. The backyard is an oasis: beautifully surrounded by greenery, with a great lawn area, spot for a play structure or gazebo and a rear deck ideal for outdoor dining. There is plenty of room to put in a pool, outdoor kitchen, or fire pit: it is wonderful as it is, but also offers so much space for you to create your dream backyard. Just 1.1 mile from the fabulous Encina Grande Shopping Center and .4 of a mile from Northgate High School: you have the proximity to it all, while feeling like you're in the country and on vacation at once. If you're an outdoors person, rejoice! This home is just 1.7 miles to the breathtaking Castle Rock Recreation Area + 1.9 miles to Borges Ranch: both offering some of the best hiking trails in the East Bay!
