Nestled in a quiet canyon, there are no street lights, no freeway sounds. This is nature as it was intended to experience. Price? Priceless. Do you have what it takes to live in this house? It’s not for everyone. You will know once you cross the threshold for the house will choose you.

The formal dining room is enhanced by French doors opening out to the deck. The kitchen offers a double oven, 4-burner plus griddle range, trash compacter, Bosch dishwasher, porcelain double sink, lively, White Ice granite countertop, plenty of oak cabinets, pantry closet, an organizer desk and informal eating area.

Also upstairs is a second master with en-suite bathroom, its own balcony and an optional office or walk-in closet. Outside back, there’s a 650 square foot deck made of Brazilian walnut, eco-friendly Fiberon.
