Offering a rare combination of size and upscale utility, the home features 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. From the elegant craftsman entry into the light-filled foyer, the exceptional premium finishes and masterfully designed layout are undeniable. The heart of the home is a spectacular open great room with a massive "wow" factor, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a cozy stacked-stone fireplace. Soaring, upper-tier clerestory windows flood the space with ambient natural light while maintaining ultimate privacy. Seamlessly connected, the expansive dining area stands ready for memorable gatherings beneath beautiful shiplap-accented ceilings. For the culinary enthusiast, the large chef's kitchen is an absolute dream. It features custom countertops, classic white shaker cabinetry, and an oversized island with a professional-grade gas cooktop. High-end functional details set this space apart, including a heavy-duty integrated pull-out butcher block cutting board and a custom glide-out island spice drawer. Cleaning up is a breeze in the deep, commercial-style stainless steel apron sink with its high-arc spring-coil faucet. The private primary suite serves as a cozy retreat, complete with direct backyard access through a private glass door. Its spa-like primary bath is a true sanctuary, showcasing a deep soaking tub framed by window views, a dual-sink vanity with custom tops, and a beautiful walk-in shower. The ultimate showstopper is the backyard paradise, fully maximizing the sprawling 1/3 acre lot. Step outside to a massive, private, level lawn surrounded by mature trees. The crowning jewel is an incredible, expansive covered outdoor pavilion complete with a custom built-in bar, rugged corrugated metal roofing, industrial-chic lighting, and extensive seating areas. Perfect for hobbyists, a dedicated side gate opens to a large concrete RV and boat parking area with a smooth concrete driveway apron for effortless access. Tucked away on the other side of the property is a private garden oasis featuring premium raised planter beds, ideal for growing your own fresh vegetables. It is the ultimate Northern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle venue. Don't miss the chance to own this gem where luxury meets comfort!
