Property Description
Real backyard mountain views, true resort style outdoor living, and a Series 3 Nimbus model home with soaring 14 foot ceilings, 8 foot interior doors, and an oversized two room guest casita. Some homes are remodeled for the photographer. This one was remodeled for the owner. Eighteen years of continuous, itemized investment, category by category, going back to 2008, a real, ongoing commitment to keeping every part of this home current, one dated project at a time. Just in the last two years, that included a new roof, new carpet, fresh paint, and a fully updated kitchen, more than $90,000 of it. That's not the kind of spending anyone does right before they list a house. This Series 3 Nimbus floor plan is also loved for how wide open the family room lives to the kitchen, and for the walls of glass across the entire rear of the home that bring the backyard right inside. NOTE: There are over $357,000 in improvements to this home and they do NOT include adding the pool or the casita expansion. A full ledger is under the documents tab or reach out to your agent. Step out back and there's travertine hardscape almost everywhere you look, with separate sitting areas for every mood, plus one covered area where remote controlled shade screens drop down for temperature controlled, bug free entertaining any time of year. The custom two room guest casita anchors its own travertine courtyard, all set on one of Terravita's largest lots at over a third of an acre, with a full 3 car garage besides. The huge resort-style backyard is something you rarely find, with mountain views, large side yards and seemingly acres of travertine creating an incredible amount of usable outdoor living space. At the center is a heated lap pool and above-ground therapy spa, surrounded by multiple places to lounge, dine and entertain. A separate outdoor gathering area features a built-in BBQ bar and oversized beehive fireplace with banco seating, while the generous covered patio functions like another living room. Motorized shades can enclose the covered patio to create a cozy, private retreat, and multiple automated sunscreens and large motorized awnings let you control the sun and shade throughout the day. Mature desert landscaping completes a backyard that feels remarkably spacious, private and designed to actually be lived in, not just looked at.
