Comfortable mediterranean-inspired 4 BR 2BA home that feels much larger than it is. Fifteen-foot high ceilings in the living room provide an open, airy feel with expansive windows to let the outside in. A walled 800 sq. ft. courtyard adjacent to the living room offers an even larger feel while providing complete privacy for an outdoor recreation space. The courtyard features water and electricty, plus stereo speakers wired to the family room A/V area. The floor plan also features a formal dining room with garden views, and a separate family room with wood-burning fireplace and french doors opening to the sunny backyard. The master bedroom with en suite bath is located at the back, away from any street noise, and with beautiful views of the grape vines and 50 year-old olive tree. Two additional bedrooms share the second bathroom, and the fourth bedroom is also hard-wired for high-speed cable internet for use as an office or studio. The kitchen is vintage 1970, including avocado-colored appliances, white tile counters, and dark wood cabinetry. Keep it vintage, or modernize it to suit your own tastes. A separate laundry room is accessible from either the inside hallway or garage. Upgrades include central air and heat, professional landscaping, smart home features (thermostat, irrigation controls, video security monitoring), wiring for home theater audio and video, a solid mahogany double entry door, and Milgard energy-efficient windows with natural wood indoor trim thoughout the home. The entire home is designed for low maintenance and high efficiency - and it delivers. While the utility bills are very low, the south-facing roof offers a perfect opportunity for a solar power upgrade Mature fruit-bearing trees include orange, lemon, lime, pomegranate, seedless grapes, and olives.
