Significantly upgraded and tastefully decorated 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home in a gated community in Ocean Hills, with expansive views from the rear patio. Soaring high ceilings with extensive architectural detail throughout the house, with most windows having high end wooden plantation shutters. Open flow throughout the first floor living room, family room, dining room, and kitchen. Honed travertine in all first floor areas, with the exception of Brazilian cherry engineered flooring in the living room and staircase. There is a chef's kitchen with upscale appliances, excellent storage, and very large window overlooking the back of the property. Natural gas fireplaces with ceramic logs in the living room and family room, as well as the master bedroom, provide warmth and ambience.Upstairs are five carpeted bedrooms with a very large master bedroom, bath, and walk-in closet behind double doors at the top of the staircase. A second full bathroom is at the center of the second-floor hallway, and a third Jack and Jill full bathroom between the two bedrooms at the front of the house.The rear patio is one of the outstanding features of the property. It contains a natural gas stone fire pit, with permanent concrete and stone seating around; a natural gas grill island with stone surface and built-in refrigerator with a lighted pergola above it; and an L-shaped pool and inground spa with both solar and/or natural gas heating. This solar heating alone has maintained the pool at 85° for virtually an entire summer season with free environmental energy, with the pool and spa filtration and heating having programmable controls in both the kitchen and the spa. There our extensive drip irrigated planting areas around the periphery of the patio, as well a raised bed for growing flowers or vegetables just beyond the double doors of the dining room. New, no maintenance fences line both sides of the property.The property takes advantage of the natural breezes, which along with overhead fans in many rooms, keeps the house cool and comfortable all summer. For those very few days when more cooling is desired, the property has central air-conditioning recently added.
