Condition: Despite being built in 1966, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations in key areas within the last 5 years. The kitchen was remodeled in 2019, featuring modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, presenting as virtually new. Two bathrooms, including the master, have also been recently remodeled with contemporary finishes, and solar panels were installed in 2020. The overall condition, particularly in the kitchen and primary bathrooms, meets current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation, making it move-in ready with luxury features.

About this home

Welcome to this stately, elegant, yet with country charm, full of unique features in and around the home you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else on the Central Coast. This home has been loved and cared about for years by owners who are absolutely in love with their home and are now ready to pass it on to the next owners who will love it like they did. You immediately fall in love with a wraparound reddish colored driveway that was constructed by Jim Aldridge, a very experienced concrete contractor in the area. The driveway harmonizes with all the brick around the house. There is an outstanding courtyard that makes the property very private, surrounded with beautiful trees that keep the house cool all year round. There is also a beautiful bubbling waterfall at the center that is surrounded by beautiful big rocks you could have guests sitting on, possibly sipping on a glass of wine. There is such a spa-like feeling everywhere with a pool, spa, sauna, fruit trees, herbs all enjoyed as you look out over the beautiful mountains. Then, in the home itself, you will find more unique qualities a newer kitchen (remodeled in 2019) that opens to the living room area, so that whether you are cooking or eating you are looking at beautiful mountain and/or garden views from most rooms in this home. There are solar panels both on the roof (installed in 2020) of this home which keeps your energy bill low, and there are solar panels outside that heat the pool all of which is paid for. This is a tri-level home, with tri-level gardens another unique and beautiful quality. There is a huge downstairs that has a sliding glass door to the pool. This area could have many uses: office, gym or guest suite. You could have many years of entertaining guests as they will let you know what a peaceful vibe this home has. This home has 3,100 sq. ft of living space on an expansive 30,000 + sq. ft. lot. It is 4 bedrooms, with 3 and a half bath home. There has been quite a bit of remodeling done the Master Bedroom, with a walk-in closet, was designed by Ed Aldridge, another well-known contractor in the area and he also remodeled two bathrooms as well. If you are ready to feel like you live in a beautiful spa resort every day, dont miss a chance to make this your beloved home.
