Experience a stunning and stylish living experience with this gorgeous 2bed/2bath condo. From the 2-story design to the private courtyard and attached 2-car garage, 12522 Montecito is not your run-of-the-mill condo. Beautiful tile covers the entire first floor, enhancing the stainless steel fireplace in the living room. The high ceiling and windows exude spaciousness and fill the condo with natural light. The living room connects to a private atrium through sliding glass doors. Every room of this exceptional condo has LED track/recessed lighting. The kitchen and dining connect to the courtyard through sliding glass doors. A built in gas connection makes it easy to grill and dine under the stars. The kitchen features rich wood cabinets that contrast with the striking granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The stairs and 2nd floor have hardwood maple flooring. Both bedrooms are upstairs for added privacy. The master bedroom is spectacular with vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan, mirrored closet doors and a private balcony. The master bath is bright and roomy with a colorful stained-glass window and an oversized whirlpool tub. The 2nd floor also features an open loft; ideal as a family or workout room or home office. The loft could be turned into a 3rd bedroom. This amazing condo also includes a recently replaced HVAC system. The garage is illuminated by fluorescent lighting and has extensive adjustable shelving, making this a perfect workshop or storage space.
