About this home

HUGE PRICE REDUCTION...$50,000! As you walk through the secure locked gate of this Santa Barbara style home you'll enter a spacious courtyard with a beautiful table that sits 6. You will see that the home is an open floor plan. You then walk through the front door into the great room with sliding glass and French doors and see the pool. The private backyard with it's pool/spa, pergola, built-in BBQ, covered porch all on a large lot with fruit trees and lawns for relaxation in both sun and shade. This is what desert living is all about 365 days a year. The chef will enjoy preparing meals in the gourmet kitchen with a center island breakfast bar, plus a huge butler's pantry with many additional cabinets, counter space, wet bar and even a walk-in pantry. This is all part of the great room facing a fireplace with built-in cabinets on both sides.
