Welcome to a slice of paradise in Oak View! This distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath home welcomes you through a charming entry adorned with decorative RTK Tiles and tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings throughout. A generous use of glass creates a seamless connection with the outdoors and clerestory windows bathe the dining room and master bedroom in natural light--with a fireplace that adds warmth, light, and charm at night. The open-concept gourmet kitchen has a convenient and functional island surrounded by Italian tile floors. The living room, with recently refinished wood floors and wood-burning fireplace, provides an intimate warm space for entertaining guests. The spacious backyard is a gem, enhanced with drought-tolerant plants and succulent garden highlighted by sandstone pavers. Wander the custom-designed rockwork pathways and relax by the cozy fire pit, connected by a flagstone path leading to a bridge over the barranca. The gardens feature 65 native plant species, a prairie habitat, and verdant wildflowers that attract butterflies. Unwind on the back deck overlooking the gardens and creek. Enjoy a special outdoor dining experience on the delightful wood gazebo or escape to the separate artist's studio/office space. A 2,450 gallon gravity-fed H2O rain catchment system includes two 50-gallon drums for emergency potable water storage and sustainable backyard watering is another reason why this property is so unique. Don't miss the chance to make this eco-friendly oasis your home!
