This Southwest style home is light and airy. It features many skylights and large windows with views of the beautiful landscaping. It is a relaxing and peaceful environment. The Southwest style shows in the flattop design, iron side gate, heavy wooden carport and pergola, also in the Saltillo tile, nichos, and interior arches. This home has been lovingly maintained with many upgrades and improvements. We love the bright kitchen layout with breakfast nook. Standing at the sink you can see the trees, flowers, and birds in the backyard. The granite counters, blonde wooden cabinets, double sinks, filtered water, disposal, dishwasher, fridge, and all appliances are included in the sale. An owned solar panel array keeps electric bills to $10/mo and powers the 220 volt electric vehicle charger. A very efficient Mastercool evaporative cooler runs on that free electricity. An impressive wooden carport keeps 2 cars clean, dry, and cool. A charming rain chain brings water from the roof to the pampas grass. The Ring cameras provides security. The cement is faux terracotta tile. There is a locking package locker to prevent thef and a key safe. A clothes washer and electric dryer (included) are located in the laundry room located conveniently next to the master bedroom. Low-moisture, pollinator-friendly plantings are on an automatic watering system. The three birdbaths are automatically filled. There is no grass to water, fertilize, or mow. Designed to be low-maintenance, you can leave the home unattended for weeks. A detached shed with electricity has a lighted workbench and ample storage. The side toward the house is covered in grapevines. The backyard is delightful. The patio features an impressive wooden pergola with a removable shade, lighting, custom dartboard case, and Bluetooth speakers. There are two trees, winding pathways lined with flowering annuals, a raised salsa garden, and a boysenberry bush, yum! The far corner of the yard has a seating area with brick paving and two bancos. Perfect for barbecues! Security-wise, there are motion-activated solar lights in the carport as well as along both sides of the house. 7 foot tall digitally locked gates guard either side of the home. Each evening low-voltage landscape lighting illuminates the front of the house until dawn. The Ring camera records anyone on the carport. The package locker prevents theft of deliveries.
