A Santa Fe style haven in Shadow Hills, with a fantastic open plan, a rare combination of feel and features, and a southwestern charm that instantly feels like home. Its unique combo of space and layout can easily host the largest gathering without losing a bit of intimacy. The light-filled great room soars, with viga/plank ceiling and an artfully painted three-sided fireplace that anchors the home without feeling imposing. Thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed custom features at every turn. Indoors and out, the space, flow, and ambience here are unmatched. A huge primary bedroom suite, secondary BRs ideally situated for guests and office, without a single interior step...all enveloped by the verdant natural surrounds of Shadow Hills. Full Vid & 3D virtual tour are a must-see. Not all square footage is created equal--just as not all great rooms are great--but there can be no question that, with a great room that earns every bit of its label, and with a rare combination of light, flow, space, all grounded with an easy, natural feel, this home lives larger than expected. There are so many thoughtfully added and well-done touches throughout, it's hard to know where to begin. Starting in the great room, a wall of built-ins, with custom stained concrete countertop, a cabinet-door-faced wine fridge, and a bench window seat, allows for a buffet for serving holiday festivities or extra storage for the everyday (and a space large enough for multiple extra tables and seating). Above, a beautiful viga and plank ceiling, with custom track spot lighting. An impressively done three-sided fireplace provides centering point for the space, and a hub of warmth and energy during the winter months. Though capable of burning wood logs, this wonder of a fireplace is plumbed with natural gas, as well, and is easily imagined as a center for winter-season warmth, family, and friends. Across from the fireplace a custom wet bar, with an under-counter fridge of its own, bar-height seating at perfect conversation space from the kitchen, and plenty of storage for glassware and occasionals. The kitchen, too, lives, works, and hosts bigger than what one would expect in a home of this size. A U-shaped kitchen workspace, with gas cooktop, plenty of granite countertop surfaces, and open to the main living areas, is every bit a part of how this home lives, hosts, and plays so much larger and better than one would expect of a home of this size. Accented by under-cabinet lights, the horizontally- arrayed backsplash is of hand-crafted glass tile, of a depth and intricacy that required a skilled specialist to install. On the dining-space side of the kitchen, an outward-facing run of lower cabinets, with plenty of extra storage to make hosting easy and hassle-free. An enormous picture window fills the space with light, perfectly sized to parallel a dining table. From the kitchen, the flow leads one past a well-situated wall of additional pantry cabinets toward bedrooms, perfectly laid out, with one bedroom split off to the eastern side of the home, and the second bedroom/office and primary bedroom suite on the south side. The primary bedroom suite impresses, with a wall of built-in cabinetry for clothing storage, and recessed built-in shelving for artwork, photos, and deco pieces. On the southwest side of the bedroom, a large window soaks the room in Autumn and Winter's afternoon light. On the other, leading toward the en-suite bath with dual vanities, a well-appointed and high-ceilinged walk-in closet (outfitted with shelving system from California Closets). For convenience, the primary en-suite bathroom adjoins the laundry room (and through it, the hallway back to the kitchen), which allows for a circular flow and adding to the surprisingly spacious feel of the home, in both its appearance and function. The third bedroom is perfectly set up to serve as home office or den, with its own southwest-oriented window to soak in cool-seaso
