Located within the highly sought-after Poway School District in the prestigious community of Lomas Verdes, this privately gated estate is perched above its own pine forest on more than an acre of land. It?s the ultimate lifestyle property whether you want to go out or stay in. Walk to the nearby Bernardo Winery to pick up a few bottles of your favorite vintage or to enjoy an alfresco lunch before checking out the latest artisan offerings at the Village Shops or one of the periodic Arts & Crafts Fairs. When entertaining at home, this property is perfect for team sports parties where the kids will love splashing in the pool or exploring the private grounds. One wing of the home features a large gaming room that is certain to be a hit with teens. Or, for multi-generational households, this room is perfect for creating a separate space for extended family. It?s located on the ground level and has direct access to the outdoors plus an adjacent bedroom and bathroom, allowing the space to function almost as a mini-apartment within the home. The social hub of this home is the great room, where a soaring ceiling lends a sense of grandeur and arched windows offer tranquil pool views. The large kitchen is open to the family room and the informal dinette, so even the family chef can be a part of the conversation when everyone is hanging out together. At the end of a long day, retire to the spacious primary bedroom and relax by the warmth of the fireplace or enjoy a deep soak in the spa tub. For those who work from home, the executive office is adjacent to the primary bedroom and features serene views of the hills from the private deck that is just perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee before starting the morning?s conference calls. Large families will especially appreciate the three car garage and the many bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets, and the family bill-payer will love the reduced electricity costs thanks to the photovoltaic solar system.
