If there were an award in Salinas for best use of space, functionality, and low maintenance, this custom home would certainly be in the running! You have to see it to appreciate the thoughtful design details in this tastefully decorated home.
Pull into the covered and totally tiled parking area, and you’ll see that security is a priority. There is a 7-camera system with a recorder and monitor, plus a street-level camera to greet guests at the gate. There is an electric fence.
As you enter the house, you’ll appreciate the aluminum gates and zoned areas for keeping pets safe. The home has split air conditioning in all areas for comfort on hot coastal days and European-style windows for when you want fresh air. Sherwin Williams paint is used throughout the home in a sophisticated palette of neutrals with just splashes of color.
The main home is all on one level with two bedrooms/bathrooms, a workshop with both a full bath and an outdoor courtyard.
The stunning master suite is a cozy sanctuary with loads of closets and vanity space. The ramp-up to the bed is a special bonus if you have small dogs or perhaps an older pet. An en suite bathroom is equally well appointed in modern style and a place for all your toiletries.
The guest room is a clever multi-use room with a convertible sofa bed. The house also has a glassed-in office area. And, of course, more brilliant storage is built in. Every detail is just perfection.
The open floor plan has absolutely no wasted space, with beautiful cabinets and countertops, a built-in dining table, and task lighting in the kitchen. A clever reverse osmosis system provides drinking water. Any cook will appreciate the like-new appliances, triple sink, extra prep sink, and four-burner cooktop. Steps away in the courtyard is an outdoor kitchen for more culinary options!
The living area is tastefully furnished with comfy seating for TV viewing and just relaxing. The bar is handy in the kitchen and living area for easy entertaining.
The highlight of the courtyard is the plunge pool with its cascading fountain. Even on chilly days, it can also be heated so you can enjoy it year-round. There’s a convenient outdoor shower as well as a half bath near the workshop.
The workshop is a fabulous area for any handyman or person who loves tinkering and building things. Or if you ever need a third bedroom, this space could easily be converted. The house, shop, and pool each have separate electric panels.
There is attic access for any future electrical additions.
All this and it’s located in Costa De Oro close to El Paseo Shopping.
