Contemporary West Hills Retreat - SOLD

This contemporary retreat set amongst a wooded paradise resides on almost a quarter of an acre lot on a private cul-d-sac street. With large windows all around there is an abundance of natural light boasting Arboretum views from almost every angle of the house. The main level includes an open living area and dining room which opens to the remodeled kitchen and eating or family room. Beautiful oak wood flooring with mahogany inlay can be found throughout the main level. The gourmet kitchen includes a cook’s island and new cabinetry with plenty of storage room. The kitchen also features a stainless appliance package including: a Décor 5 burner built-in gas cook top, a Décor built-in oven and convection microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Whirlpool Gold refrigerator. The casual eating area or family room opens to the kitchen and is the perfect setting for children doing their homework or entertaining guests while cooking. An office and remodeled half bath along with the two car garage complete the main floor plan.

The functional family layout on three levels of living includes three bedrooms on the lower level with two newly remodeled bathrooms. All of the gorgeous bedrooms include wall to wall carpeting and plenty of closet space. The Master suite features two walk in closets, a private deck with amazing views, and a bath with fantastic soaking tub, separate shower, and two separate vanities.

The bottom level serves as the huge fourth bedroom and includes a large walk-in closet. With its views and space the owners had used it as a yoga studio and workout room, but it could also be a wonderful playroom or den…you decide its ideal use.

The wrap around deck off the back of the home is perfect for summer barbeques and bird watching. Do you have a dog? There is also a dog run like no other in addition to the porch for Fido to roam.
