Experience the highly sought-after lifestyle of living in one of Rancho Bernardo’s most exclusive communities, The Trails. Offering fabulous views and commanding curb appeal, this residence presents an impressive entry centered around a semi-circular drive and mature landscaping. Through the double wood doors framed by windows, you are greeted by a large picture window showcasing the awe-inspiring backyard! The dramatic foyer entry boasts travertine floors, high windows and vaulted ceilings. The step-down grand living room has a raised tile and wood gas fireplace, soaring open beamed ceilings, plush carpeting, custom window coverings, and is flooded with natural light. Other luxurious details include wet bar with sink, two ceiling fans and double door access to the back patio, an ideal space to enjoy an afternoon snack or a glass of wine in the evening. Through the archway to the right of the foyer is the formal dining room, which boasts travertine tile flooring, dramatic red walls and decorative crystal-like chandelier. Dinner parties are even more special when dining under the stars in the adjacent private patio just outside this romantic room.
Two swinging doors lead from the dining room to the spacious granite-clad kitchen and family room. The kitchen, complete with oversized island with breakfast bar, features an abundance of white painted cabinetry, travertine tile, two ceiling fans and a skylight. High-end appliances include GE Profile refrigerator/freezer with matching wood paneling, Dacor dual convection ovens and 5-burner flat top stove, Whirlpool compactor, and Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen opens up to an inviting family room, where loved ones can spend an evening in front of a cozy terra cotta tile gas fireplace. This room also features plush carpeting, recessed lighting and a wall of beautiful custom built wood bookshelves and cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen is an eat-in breakfast area, built-in desk with granite counter and powder room, complete with tiled vanity and access to the backyard. Smartly tucked away and just off the kitchen is a sizable indoor laundry room, appointed with folding table, concealed ironing board, pantry and coat closet and offers direct access to the finished 3-car garage and guest suite. Overnight guests will feel pampered in this room, which features a separate entrance through the backyard via two French doors, plush carpeting, recessed lighting, reach-in closet and private bathroom with step-in shower as well as access to the backyard.
Located just to the left of the foyer at entry level, you’ll find an office, powder room, and two secondary bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The office, which can also double as a bedroom, features plush carpeting, plantation shutters, views to the front yard and two closets-one that features removable shelving and the other, a utility space. In between the office and the first bedroom, you’ll find a full bathroom with rich travertine flooring, ceramic tile vanity, tub/shower with glass slider and commode. The first bedroom features plush carpeting, recessed lighting, built-in work station with cabinets and a walk-in closet while the second bedroom at the end of the hall boasts carpeting, reach-in mirrored closet and backyard access through a sliding glass door. The shared bathroom is appointed with dual sinks that sit atop a tiled vanity with wood cabinetry, travertine flooring, tub/shower combo with glass slider, additional built-in cabinets for linens and toiletries and separate commode room.
Located up the staircase on the second floor, you will find the well-appointed master suite that offers privacy and a peaceful setting. Enjoy a cozy tiled fireplace, cathedral ceilings with ceiling fan, plush carpeting and numerous windows that allow sunlight to stream in or take pleasure in unobstructed mountains and hillside views from your own private enclosed sunroom with ceiling fan that overlooks the pool and spa, located just off the master bedroom. The adjoining master bath retreat is separated from the bedroom by a corridor of reach-in and walk-in closets. Rejuvenate yourself within the spa-like master bath by taking a warm soak in the deep oval tub or stand under the refreshing spray of the step-in tiled shower. The bathroom also features custom wall paint with decorative scroll art, tiled vanity with dual sinks, linen cabinet, wood flooring, and separate commode room. The room is kept bright and open by the skylight overhead. Take comfort in the fact that all three skylights that grace this home have been recently replaced.
Expansive indoor and outdoor entertainment areas optimize the enjoyment of this exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind property. An amazing backyard awaits your arrival with a sparkling pool surrounded by a stamped concrete patio, elevated waterfall spa, generous lawns and raised planters, and an intimate patio with wood arbor, just outside the living room. Steps away from the pool, you’ll find a large swing and play area, rose garden, tropical stone-lined pond with koi fish and many fruit bearing trees. This outdoor entertainer’s oasis offers every amenity imaginable framed by picture-perfect mountain views! This is truly a space to enjoy perfect weather year round.
