WARNING! View alert! Allow ample time for touring this property-you will want to stay awhile. From the moment you open the front door, the incredible view draws you out back to take in the incredible scenery from the expansive covered patio. Take a seat and a minute to linger and enjoy the peaceful view of the valley and hillsides. Eventually, though it may be hard, you will not be disappointed once you tear yourself away and tour the beautiful home. The very smart floorplan includes two separate bedroom wings with all the living space in between. The primary suite is on one side of the home and is the epitome of a true retreat with its own fireplace, two walk in closets and very spacious bath. Directly across from the Primary is a dedicated home office featuring custom built-ins, including two desks and an oversized picture window that overlooks the tree-lined driveway. Heading into the common area you will again be drawn to the view through the three sets of 8’ French doors in the formal living room. Just across from the living room is a lovely dining room also offering a tree-shaded picture window. There really are lovely views from all the rooms. Beyond the dining room are the powder room and a very nice bar area that is both practical and beautiful adding the finishing touch to what is truly an ideal home for hosting gatherings. Just steps from the bar, you enter the adjoined kitchen and family room, both overlooking that peaceful valley scenery. The kitchen offers a spacious breakfast nook and eat-at peninsula facing into the family room. The cozy fireplace in the family room creates the perfect atmosphere for a quiet evening in. Down the hall off the family room you will find two bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bath and the fourth bedroom with its own ensuite. The laundry room is at the end of the hall just as you exit to the garage. The three-car garage and oversized driveway offer plenty of parking. The home is surrounded by mature trees, plenty of open space and is in one of Valley Center’s more premium gated communities, The Ranch. The home has had some updating through the years but still provides opportunity for you to make it your own. Located in the Southwest corner of Valley Center, you are closer to the freeway and town than most other communities in the area. With its excellent location, beautiful views and a very desirable single-story floorplan, this home is sure to check all your boxes, and some you didn’t even know you had!
