Timeless elegance meets comfort and sophistication in this iconic Villamay split level. This classic home, designed by renowned builder Gene May, is ideally sited on a quiet cul-de-sac in the middle of the neighborhood, on a nearly half-acre amazingly landscaped and fenced lot. Enter the home from the welcoming flagstone front porch through the new ProVia door to a brick-floored entryway and a bright and airy living room with exposed brick wall, recessed lighting, a wood fireplace, custom mantle and built-ins. The windows looking out to the rear yard let in so much light. The desirable features of this home are almost too numerous to mention but here are a few: family room with cathedral ceilings; formal dining room with a custom bar area; kitchen/family room with a fireplace, exposed brick wall, all stainless appliances including a counter-depth refrigerator, electric stove top and a large island. The list goes on. Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room with cathedral ceilings, two ceiling fans and double sliding doors, and a half bath for guests; then, adjacent to the family room is a glass enclosed sunroom with a slider to the lush, amazing back yard. More on that later. Upstair you'll find three bedrooms including a huge Primary suite with a sitting room (could be a nursery or exercise space) with 2 walls of closets and a completely updated primary bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and double sinks. The two other bedrooms are large and quiet, and the hall bath was recently updated. The oak hardwoods on this level are gleaming and the Thermopane casement windows are newer (2022). On the lower level you'll find an expansive family room (currently being used as an artist studio) with the large fourth bedroom with an en-suite bath recently renovated (2022). The utility/laundry room round out the highlights of the lower level with a walk-out to the back yard. The utility room features a 130-gallon gas hot water heater, newer large capacity LG washer/dryer, 2020 gas furnace and work space for the carpenter or handyman in the family. The A/C is a Space Pack system and is energy efficient.Now, for the piece de resistance - the backyard. Step out via the sliders from the sunroom or family room to the magnificent flagstone patio with custom awning. Relax amongst mature trees and shrubbery on your private and quiet space. Your yard is fenced for the enjoyment of your furry or two-legged friends but part of the yard extends beyond the fencing. The back yard features an irrigation system to keep your grass green year round. The roof on the house is newer (2021) and you have a new Leaf Filter system on the gutters. The oversized two-car garage allows for easy access to the kitchen and family room. Don't miss this one!
