With one of the lowest property tax rates in the area, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that checks every box. Inside, you’re welcomed by an open, airy layout enhanced by 9-foot ceilings on both floors - a rare and noticeable upgrade that allows for more natural light, larger windows, and an overall sense of spaciousness.

The adjacent living and dining areas offer a seamless flow, while a flex room on the first floor makes an ideal office, playroom, or creative space. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized secondary bedrooms in addition to an expansive master suite, a smart built-in desk area, and a versatile loft that can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Every space has been optimized for comfort, storage, and flexibility. Savor a perfect pairing with your favorite wine and unobstructed views from your private master balcony before melting away in your oversized soaking tub. Outside, the backyard is built for relaxing and entertaining, with a high-end Alumawood patio cover complete with lighting and ceiling fan, a custom BBQ island with fridge, and a built-in gas fire pit - all overlooking rolling hills with no rear neighbors and zero chance of development behind you.
