Large windows let in abundant natural light and create visual pathways to the green vegetation outside.Core design elements are clean & modern: plank tile floors, fresh paint, plantation shutters and quartz countertops. Custom touches add a layer of warmth and comfort; art niches are dotted throughout, built in cabinetry sits in the den & guest wing, and an electric fireplace anchors the great room. With metal screen doors on both the front and back entrances, air flow through the home can be enjoyed.Facing Northeast, the backyard feels tucked in with generous vegetation and exposes peeks of the Catalina Mountains.
