There are homes that check boxes, and then there are homes that make you stop scrolling. This is the later. Tucked under a canopy of mature redwoods in one of Highland Reserve's most coveted pockets, this rare single-story offers nearly 2,900 square feet of elegant living with a layout that actually makes sense. A sweeping entry with crown molding and arched doorways opens to formal living and dining rooms on one side, four private bedrooms on the other, and an open kitchen and family room in the back that flows directly outside right where you want to be. The kitchen is built to be used: rich cherry cabinetry, granite slab counters and backsplash, double wall oven, gas cooktop, center island, and a breakfast nook. The family room is bright, spacious, and lined with plantation shutters. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, backyard access, and an impressively sized ensuite with a wraparound double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. A large dedicated laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink rounds out the practical side of this home nicely. Now the backyard. The freeform pool with a natural boulder waterfall was completely redone within the past year and is absolutely stunning. Towering redwoods and Japanese maples create total privacy. A large covered pergola handles the entertaining. Raised garden beds, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, and a full irrigation system keep it lush year-round. The sunken patio seating area tucked into its own garden corner is exactly where you'll spend your mornings and evenings. This is a home with exceptional bones, a floor plan that's hard to find at this size, and an outdoor space that can't be built for what this home is priced at. The interior is original and ready for your personal touch meaning you get to choose the finishes in a home that already has everything that matters most. Highland Reserve. Top-rated schools. Minutes to the Galleria, I-80, Kaiser and Sutter. This one won't last.
