Located in one of Vista's most sought after neighborhoods!
3792 Emma Road is a fantastic gem of a home located in The Vista Grove Estates in Buena Creek. Perched up above its neighboring homes, this luxury estate features 180 degrees of unobstructed westward facing views. Not only can you watch the sun sink into the ocean every afternoon, but you can also see gorgeous rolling hills, twinkling city lights and everything in between. The second you step through the door, your eyes will be drawn to the spectacular view seen directly through the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. With a vaulted ceiling and wide-open floor plan, this home feels even larger than the 3,794 square feet it proudly boasts. The living room is warm and inviting with an elegant fireplace and mantle, built-in cabinets and shelves with under cabinet lighting, as well as a large entertainment center with doors that can be closed when not in use. Just off the living room is a modern Chef’s kitchen with slab-granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry with built in shelves, an office nook and a ton of storage with plenty of cabinet and counter space. As a bonus, all cabinets have pull out racks. Top-end appliances include a double wall oven with convection settings, a microwave and range, and a Bosch dishwasher. The lower level also features a large walk in laundry room with loads of storage and a sink, a formal dining area and two main-level Master suites. The larger of the two master bedroom suites has a massive bedroom area that not only features direct access to the pool and hot tub, but also has ample space for a reading chair or sofa. This master suite bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, a tiled dual-head shower, dual sinks and vanities, and a huge master closet with custom organizational shelves and drawers throughout! We’re talking everything from dual hampers and pull-out hanging rods to a lock safe and more! Upstairs has the secondary bedrooms and bath as well as an incredible loft that overlooks the living room with the same breathtaking views. Great attention has been paid to the smaller details as well. Elegant French doors, beautiful wooden banisters and modern light fixtures all add to the allure of 3792 Emma Road. And don’t forget about the fully retractable shades for the living room and kitchen windows! Plus, there is direct access to the patio and pool area from four different locations – how’s that for planning?! About that patio area - it is definitely a key focal point with a spectacular infinity-edge pool, spa and waterfall. There is also a built-in outdoor BBQ with a fridge, sink and retractable awning. The expansive patio allows for a variety of seating options and entertaining spaces. Composite wood-style decking, a pony wall and beautiful landscaping ties it all in. There is also a scenic walkway that leads to a private bench overlooking the amazing view. Surrounded by citrus trees, it’s a great vantage point to sit and reflect. Parking will never be a problem at this home. In addition to the bountiful driveway space, there are two separate garages - one single and one double - for a total of 3 stalls. The 2-car garage has epoxy flooring, a tool bench area, and built in storage cabinets. The single garage is perfect as an exercise room, play room office or other living space if not being used for a vehicle. Several unseen features should also be noted about this home. It has dual zone air systems with a new system recently installed for the upstairs level. The sellers have also recently installed new hot water heaters, a hot water dispenser in the kitchen and a new pool heater. As a final touch, the house is wired for a Digital Life Automation and Security System that includes a key lock pad on the front door and a Smart phone app. As you can see, 3792 Emma Road is an exclusive property. Located in the highly-demanded Vista Grove Estates of Buena Creek, it won’t be around for long. Interested buyers should tour this home today!
