Highly sought "Yosemite" floorplan in the desirable hillside community of Horsethief Canyon Ranch. This is a rare model…the last home sold was listed almost 5 years ago!! Built in 2002, it is also the newest year built in the community with unique features such as low-e windows, updated cabinets, and other unique finishes. Upon entering this 5bd/2.75ba. home, you immediately appreciate the openness of the floorplan with its cathedral ceiling in the living room and formal dining area. The large kitchen features beautiful blue pearl granite counters, upgraded cabinets, a large island, stainless appliances, pantry and a large media niche. Reverse osmosis system also feeds into the refrigerator’s supply line for nice, clean water in the entire kitchen. Whole-house water softener is in the garage. There is a family dining area that leads into the family room where you will find a large 65" wide build-in for a modern-sized >70" television. Downstairs there is a guest bedroom. The bathroom has a walk-in-shower and a large, finished closet built under the staircase for lots of extra storage. Included front-loading LG washer and dryer are in a downstairs laundry room complete with a utility sink and cabinets. Custom lighting fixtures, luxury vinyl plank flooring and plantation shutters complete the lower level. Upstairs, there are two standard-sized bedrooms as well as an oversized 15’ x 10.5’ bedroom with a nice benched alcove under the window. Large master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a large bathroom with upgraded 93” his/her vanity. There is a separate tub/shower as well as a walk-in closet. Lastly, there is a huge 16’ x 20’ bonus room that could serve as a home theater, game room, gym, additional bedroom, large home office, etc. Outside, there is a nice retaining wall and large, hardscaped side yard area. No grass to worry about in the backyard, but there is a lot of vegetation to enjoy and hardscaped patio area to utilize. Enjoy summer cook-outs with the built-in BBQ and relax under the alumawood patio cover. 17-panel paid-for solar system is grandfathered into the optimal net metering plan with SCE. Recreational toys are no problem w/approx. 10'x40' RV parking on the side!! HCR is a great family community with a K-8 school, soccer, dog park, and baseball fields. There is easy resident access to the tennis courts, club house, gym, (2) olympic-sized pools, and several parks. Best of all there are no Mello Roos, so taxes are among the lowest in the area!
