High on the mountain looking down on the city, if you miss out on this home it's a dog-gone pity . . . What a rare find! Situated on one of, if not the highest point, on Mt. Alto overlooking the city with gorgeous mountain views as well. The sunrise views off the East deck are simply incredible. This home is situated on nearly 4 acres of very private land yet convenient to shopping and restaurants. The miles of walking trails on the adjoining property is an added bonus for the nature-lover in you. The home is very open and great for entertaining. Central HVAC but also has a wood-burning furnace that can heat the entire home for very little expense. Seller requests a 24 hour notice for all showings.
