Fantastic indoor/outdoor living on one of the best lots in Shadow Hills, this 4BR, 3ba home boasts a 3-car garage, two purpose-built office spaces, a pebbletec pool, and one of the most dramatic paver driveways you'll see anywhere. Sitting far back from the end of an already quiet cul-de-sac, this home is one of the more secluded-feeling settings one can find, and yet so close to all the conveniences. Perfectly sited to soak in winter sun, the southern-oriented rear patio, pool, and yard overlook a natural wash area, giving one a real sense of privacy. Inside the home, a huge-feeling series of living areas--nearly 60 linear feet from one end to the other, with high ceilings and a gallery of south-facing windows and doors--filled with winter sunlight through the day. (see ext remarks... ...video, and virtual tour). The size and feeling of openness in the three contiguous living spaces cannot be understated. With the winter sun beaming through the length of these spaces, it isn't hard to imagine hosting the largest of gatherings of friends and family here, passing in and out of slider doors on each side of the long covered patio... or for just enjoying quietly in the day-to-day, with the combination of the lush plantings, the glimmering pool, and the verdant bordering area forming an ideal backdrop. There are really three living areas here: one at the center of the home, one that opens onto the kitchen, and an additional living room that was added on to the eastern end of these, with double doors opening north to a front patio. With these front french doors open to the mountain-view patio in front, and the slider doors providing access to the extra-long covered patio to the rear, there is a potential here to host that will be rare in a continuous space like this without steps. The primary bedroom enjoys winter sun and space, with high ceilings of its own, and garden tub that overlooks the backyard through a bay window. A front bedroom, off the living area, is a perfect place for a large home office or, with mountain views and an adjacent bath, a bedroom to impress guests. The other two secondary bedrooms boast mountain views of their own. Not to be overlooked are the two office spaces, each outfitted with extensive shelving and desk set-ups. The larger of the two is set off on the western side of the home, far from the living area, but just a few steps down the hall from a bathroom. Situated as it is, a fantastic work-from-home office that one can shut the door on and leave behind at the end of the work-day. The other office, though much smaller, has an enviable view to the north, capturing mountain views and that impressive, luxurious pavered drive.
