About this House
Welcome to 1818 Samar, a beautifully transformed contemporary-modern 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath single-level residence offering an exceptional blend of luxury, functionality, and indoor-outdoor living. Located on a large lot in the highly desirable Mesa Verde's "inner-loop", this rare home has been thoughtfully renovated with high-end finishes and extensive upgrades throughout. The heart of the home is an extraordinary open-concept great room that spans nearly the entire width of the residence. A dramatic 12-foot bifold door opens directly to the backyard, seamlessly connecting the living space to the resort-style outdoor entertaining area. The chef’s kitchen features an approximately 13.6-foot island nearly 5 feet wide, comfortably accommodating six barstools, along with abundant cabinetry and countertop space, designer appliances, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and a sophisticated wet bar. It’s an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining on a large scale. Step outside to your private entertainer’s paradise, complete with a fully remodeled PebbleTec pool and spa with modern white tile, pergola, built-in BBQ and refrigerator, fire pit, expansive lawn, and privacy trees. The spacious primary suite offers its own private backyard access and opens to a luxurious spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities with marble countertops, an oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, marble flooring, and a walk-in closet. A generously sized secondary suite provides exceptional flexibility for guests or multigenerational living, complete with its own private bathroom and dual vanity. The remaining bedrooms are also exceptionally spacious, while skylights throughout the home fill the interior with natural light. Extensive upgrades include brand-new black-framed windows, white oak flooring, new HVAC and AC compressor, upgraded electrical main panel with subpanel, custom mudroom with built-in bench and cabinetry, dedicated laundry area, and a fully finished garage with drywall and epoxy flooring. The home also features a Sunrun solar system with an integrated Tesla home battery. From the beautifully landscaped front yard and inviting porch overlooking the park to the sophisticated interior and exceptional backyard, no detail was overlooked in transforming this residence into a truly turnkey home.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 82% nearby.
