Sparkling panoramic vista views from one of the largest executive homes in the area, a stately entrance, and an immediate wow factor when you enter the property: This rare listing will check all of your new home boxes. Highly desired Mesa Heights: we present this two-story, 2,470 SF home with five bedrooms and three full baths -- all updated. The ground level bedroom currently serves as an office. Next door to the office is a full bath with walk-in shower and a laundry room. Four bedrooms and two full baths are up the sweeping staircase. Double door entry with updated lighting throughout the home. Soaring ceilings. Dark mahogany wood floors anchor the downstairs. As you circle to the back of the house, the dining area transitions to the separate family room with fireplace and the large, updated eat-in kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen and family room are wrapped around to the back of the home. Large, fenced backyard -- with always green turf in the back and front. And more: The solar panels on the roof are newer and owned free and clear. These panels should bring your new electric bill down to practically zero. Newer tankless water heater. The slider off the family room leads to the backyard, where you'll find a covered patio, a gazebo with spa and a built-in barbeque area. The views of this home face to the north and west. The oversized primary bedroom with fully updated ensuite bath has a large, walk-in primary closet and a secondary closet. All bedrooms are sunny and bright. Plantation shutters throughout the home. This is a meticulous presentation for a buyer or buyers seeking a larger home with an attached three-car garage. Lot size is 8,861 SF. A wonderful green space bonus with this location is that you will be extremely close to Big Rock Park and Mission Trails Regional Park. Preference will be given to strong offers that can close comfortably in December. 8480 Mesa Heights Road feels like the last house you may need to acquire.
