This distinguished brick residence offers over 8,000 square feet of finely finished living space set on 20 meticulously maintained acres. Designed for both elegance and everyday comfort, the home features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a thoughtful layout anchored by a main-floor primary suite with custom built-ins, a cozy fireplace, a private sitting area, and California Closets for organized luxury. A second main-floor suite provides the perfect arrangement for related living or extended guests.
The main level is appointed with rich hardwood floors, an expansive living room with custom built-ins and a fireplace, a custom eat-in kitchen, and a bright sunroom complete with a built-in BBQ and ventilation system. Remote-controlled window shades, dual laundry rooms, and zoned heating and cooling add effortless convenience.
The upper level offers four spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and views overlooking the main level. This floor also provides access to the attic, giving additional flexibility for storage or future expansion.
The lower level walkout is an entertainer's retreat with a theater, game room, home offices, and an additional bathroom.
Outdoors, the property shines with a heated 4-car extended garage, inground pool powered by solar panels, stocked pond, fruit tree orchard, and irrigated garden. Three versatile outbuildings include a main outbuilding with a car lift and controls for the property's irrigation system that covers approximately 8 acres of the property, Between two of the outbuildings you will find a solar powered well for watering animals. One outbuilding also offers three stalls—ideal for equestrian or hobby use.
Practical upgrades such as a whole-house generator, 2019 roof with 50-year shingles, and full property irrigation ensure peace of mind.
This estate blends refined living with functional amenities, offering a rare opportunity to own a private retreat just minutes from modern conveniences.
