Situated in the highly desirable, Discovery Hills with a commanding street presence rests this beautiful upgraded home. The bright and airy floor plan begins with a sun drenched living room and dining room offering cathedral ceilings and multiple art niches. Adjacent to the dining room is the large kitchen featuring updated cabinetry, granite counter tops with tumbled stone style backsplash and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen also offers space for a breakfast table and opens to the family room with fireplace and the lushly landscaped back yard. Completing the first level is a guest bath and laundry room plus direct access to the three car garage. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms one of which is a master bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet and frameless glass shower, plus separate soaking tub. One of the guest bedrooms is conveniently set up for an office with built in desk and bookshelves but could easily convert back to a 4th bedroom. Outside you will find an arbor covered patio plus a detached covered brick patio, BBQ island and an amazingly landscaped lot with built-in steps to an elevated viewing area offering panoramic views of the mountains and hills. Excellent location close to restaurants, shopping, hiking trails and great schools!
