IMMEDIATE GOLF MEMBERSHIP at closing! An exceptional opportunity in coveted Desert Highlands, this updated single level, contemporary home has impeccable curb appeal and offers captivating views of Pinnacle Peak from the front of the home. This efficient floor plan is inviting, light and bright, with high ceilings, numerous skylights, and ample windows and sliding doors that allow the lush outdoor landscaping to be appreciated from every room. The custom wood and copper front entry door leads you into the open living and dining rooms, which are anchored by a dramatic fireplace featuring Crema Marfil split-face marble tile and floating wood shelves on either side. Connecting these rooms to the kitchen and family room is a counter-height bar area, complete with built-in cabinetry and a wine fridge. Renovated in 2019, the sleek kitchen offers rich custom cabinetry, contrasting white Quartz countertops, glass mosaic tiled backsplash, luxury stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The breakfast nook offers a view of the backyard through a butted glass bay window. The family room is centered around a stone media wall and fireplace, creating a warm focal point and inviting relaxation. The primary bedroom, redesigned in 2017 features two accent walls of custom fabric panels and a floating custom cabinet in the cozy sitting area. The generous-sized primary bathroom features travertine slab dual vanities and a makeup counter, a jacuzzi tub, and a large travertine-tiled shower area. On the opposite side of the home, you'll find two generous-sized guest bedrooms, each with ensuite baths. One guest bedroom offers access to the backyard, while the other bedroom, redesigned in 2017 with fabric-paneled walls and custom built-in desks, is currently being used as an office. The back exterior of the home is a private paradise with a sunny south-facing exposure, lush landscaping, flagstone patio, sparkling Pebble Tec pool with a boulder waterfall, spa, grassy area, a fireplace and sunset views. The attached guest casita overlooks the backyard and offers a sitting area, a kitchenette with ample cabinetry, a sink, a refrigerator, built-in microwave and a full ensuite bath. All 3 HVAC systems were replaced in the last 2.5 years.
