Property Description

BEAUTIFUL Home located in the gated community of Rancho Tesoro. This desirable Vientos plan offers 4 bedrooms, + an additional bonus room upstairs, 3 baths, and unique features and upgrades that make it special. At the heart of the home is a bright kitchen with a light-colored quartz peninsula, tons of counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in wine rack. The open layout of the downstairs seamlessly connects the kitchen to a spacious dining area and family room, which has been upgraded with a beautiful gas fireplace. Downstairs offers a large bedroom/home office, a custom built-in bookshelf/cabinet for storage, a mudroom, and a full bath. Upstairs, the home offers incredible unobstructed views of mountains and the community’s park and pool, filling the house with tons of natural light and making its location desirable in the community. These breathtaking views fill the luxurious master suite bedroom, which has a soaking tub, a walk-in tiled shower, two separate sinks, and a huge walk-in closet. These views also fill the upstairs loft, which has a custom floor-to-ceiling built-in shelf (this space could easily be enclosed into a 5th bedroom). Also upstairs are two bedrooms, a full bath, and a large laundry room with tons of storage. The home has numerous upgrades, including board-and-batten wall paneling, designer carpeting, high-end tile flooring, elegant window coverings (wood shutters), and custom mirror frames made of walnut in the master and downstairs bathrooms, all of which make the home charming. It is also equipped with whole-house water and reverse osmosis drinking filtration systems and solar panels that keep energy costs low. The garage features a tankless water heater and ample storage. The private backyard is upgraded with turf, pavers, gas fireplace and mature olive tree. Rancho Tesoro Community amenities include a pool, cabanas, BBQs, a playground, and hiking trails just right outside the gate. This property can apply for an intra-district transfer to Double Peak for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Don’t miss this dream home—it won’t last long!
