About this home

More Than Meets the Eye | Single-Level Living, Unexpected Space & an Extraordinary Backyard. Don't let the classic ranch exterior fool you. Behind the front door is a home full of surprises, offering the ease of single-level living, remarkable flexibility, and spaces designed for everything from quiet evenings to memorable gatherings.Vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout the main level, where everyday living is comfortable and convenient. With five bedrooms and 3.5 baths, there's room for family, guests, and changing needs. An elevator connecting both levels and a ramp from the garage add another level of convenience.But what truly sets this home apart is everything you don't expect.The expansive, fully above-ground walk-out lower level offers an entirely different dimension of living space, with two generous recreation rooms, including one with its own performance stage. Imagine movie nights, family celebrations, visiting grandchildren, or simply having room for everyone to enjoy their own activities. A dedicated desk area, abundant storage, separate workshop or craft room, and a separate cellar for your special vintages offer even more possibilities.And then there's the backyard.Set on nearly half an acre, the outdoor spaces offer something for everyone. Shoot hoops on the lighted basketball court, enjoy the soccer net and custom swing set, or relax on the enclosed patio. Raised vegetable gardens with automated irrigation, mature apple and blueberry trees, and several varieties of wine grapes make this property especially distinctive.With panoramic views, beautiful natural light, and direct access from the lower level to the backyard, indoor and outdoor living come together effortlessly.This is a home that adapts to the way you live, offering the convenience of single-level living without sacrificing space for entertaining, hobbies, family visits, and everyday enjoyment.There's far more here than you might expect. Come see it for yourself.
