Description

This beautiful Eastside home received a high-spec, studs-out, fully permitted remodel and expansion completed in 2017. All major systems including plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roof were replaced during the remodel. The formal foyer welcomes you in with bright clerestory windows and ample wall space for art display. The great room concept ensures a shared living experience with family and friends. A spacious, center island kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop, a combo convection/microwave oven and beverage cooler. Expansive Caesarstone countertops ensure abundant workspace for the dedicated chef. The bright kitchen opens to the dining area and main living space, which is enhanced by surround sound speakers, custom blinds and recessed lighting. All bedrooms include custom window covers and finished closets, two with ceiling fans. The large primary suite provides room for a cozy retreat, vaulted ceilings, a built-out, center island closet and a large elegant primary bath clad in marble and porcelain. The tub is separate from the large shower which sports multiple shower heads. A separate indoor laundry room (W/D included) features a handy sink, drying racks and ample cabinetry. Eleganza porcelain wood grain floors extend throughout. Windows and sliders are dual paned. The inviting back yard sports a newer built-in BBQ station and artificial turf lawn surrounded by sprinklered landscape including multiple citrus trees. Other important features include a tankless water heater, full-house water filtration, and a striking new glass garage door. The attached garage provides convenient direct access to the house. Perfectly located, close to schools, shopping, dining and recreation.
