Walk inside this spacious 3,903-square foot home and the first thing you'll notice is how much light surrounds you. Windows are everywhere here, beginning in the foyer and continuing ahead in the adjacent rooms, allowing a soft warm light to wash gently over the entire space, making you immediately feel at home.
To your right and up a shallow step, you'll find yourself in a long room with two art deco style windows. This space is perfect for setting up a Living/gathering room, or perhaps a dining space since it's directly connected to the kitchen.
On that note, you'll find the kitchen – with its large island planted in the center of the space – conducive to not only cooking and baking, but also gathering. Current owners, Violet and Glenn, recall many years of holiday cookie making with their grandchildren here, complete with flour-covered faces and tiny hands. All the appliances have been recently updated, ensuring many more years of cookie making for future home owners.
Just beyond the kitchen is a dining nook, ideal for informal meals and early mornings spent looking through the window and into the massive backyard (more info on that below!). Nestled against the nook and kitchen is another gathering space, this one complete with built-in shelving, a wet bar, and recently re-rocked fireplace that stretches up the entire wall.
Onto the last room in lower level of this home: the master suite. It's the most spacious bedroom of the five in the house, and connects to an expansive, double-sink bathroom. The bathroom holds a large, built-in bathtub in a window-laden corner, as well as a double-closet that's been divided into two separate, but attached spaces.
Now let's head upstairs, but first, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about how remarkable the staircase is. Perhaps you may even consider it the central focal point of the home. It's wide, allowing for multiple people to pass through at the same time without a traffic jam, is lined with gorgeous wood on either side, and allows you to look out over the entryway and two living spaces.
Upstairs, you'll find a shared bathroom, storage space, and four more bedrooms, including an incredibly spacious ensuite that attaches to an open balcony. We can picture it now: early evening dusk, wine in hand, and contemplative thoughts by yourself, with family, or with friends as you look overlook the adjacent, protected desert preserve and backyard.
Speaking of the backyard, even if you're not a huge outdoorsy person, you'll find it a private sanctuary of your very own. It features a long, covered patio and winding desert landscaping, complete with cacti. Not only will your family find a reprieve in this space, but so will the hummingbirds thanks to orange-flowering bird of paradise shrubs, sweeping magenta bougainvillea, and yellow-flowering Palo Verde trees.
Other features of this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home, built in 1991, include a three-car garage, a small laundry room complete with washer and dryer, and plush, immaculate carpeting located throughout.
