On more than a ½ acre in the exclusive west valley gated community of Russell Ranch, this beautiful property will sell itself with its marvelous curb appeal, mountain views, open floorplan, and fully landscaped resort style backyard. Upon arriving at this property, you will find the front landscaping leaves little to be desired. A unique blend of large, pristine grass pads, a dozen mature palm trees, a variety of full grown, colorful plants and shrubs, as well as a cherry blossom tree, all intertwined with paver walkways and small bridges over river rock below. You will also notice a massive paver driveway leading to an over-sized side-entry 3 car garage, equipped with large coach lights, upgraded garage doors (including keypad entry and ultra-quiet openers), and a custom stained concrete garage floor with a checkerboard design and epoxy coating. The driveway also contains parking space for a dozen additional cars for when you are entertaining, and leads to large RV gates, protecting a side-yard big enough to house your toy-hauler, trailer or RV. As you make your way back around to the front door, you will marvel at the 15 ft. tall lighted grand entry, encased in cultured stone, with 4 large column pillars, all protecting a custom over-sized mahogany door. Upon entering the impressive front door, your eyes will be drawn to the countless number of upgrades; the builders truly spared no expense in this custom estate. 18 inch polished travertine tile throughout, coffered 12 foot ceilings in all of the entertaining rooms, upgraded light fixtures, chandeliers and/or ceiling fans in every room, wood shutters throughout, interior column pillars (matching those in the grand entry as well as the covered patio) surround the formal dining / living room, and custom carpet and tile borders in the great room. As you walk through the open entry, you encounter the massive great room / kitchen area (1,000+ sq.ft.), which combined with the over-sized bonus room (600+ sq.ft.), and resort quality backyard, facilitate entertaining large parties. The great room contains upgraded designer carpet with a surrounding mosaic tile border, a full wall of custom, lighted built-ins (including a gas fireplace), a 12 foot sliding glass door leading to the massive covered patio, and a circular breakfast nook which looks out to the same covered patio, the lush backyard, outdoor firepit and sport court. Off the great room, large double doors lead you into the beautiful master bedroom, which contains a breathtaking, custom diamond painted accent wall, as well as another full wall of built in bookshelves, impressive 12 foot coffered ceilings, dual ceiling fans, and a circular nook with windows overlooking, and a door leading out to, the backyard patio, fountain, lush planters and grass pads. To the left of the master double door entry, you will find a master bath you will not want to leave. The master bath features an over-sized jetted tub encased in an elevated travertine / granite circular enclosure, with a wall-mounted, cable ready TV to assist in ultimate relaxation. On either side of the elevated jetted tub, you will find his and hers bathroom areas with king-size mirrors, leading to the toilet room on the right, and the massive circular shower on the left, which wraps around the back of the tub area. Off the hallway to the master bedroom, you will find the entry to the bonus room, which is wired for a wall-mounted TV and surround sound system. As you leave the bonus room, back into the great room, you encounter the kitchen, which can only be described as a chef's dream come true. It houses upgraded built-in GE Monogram appliances, including a 6 burner gas stove with griddle and double ovens under an impressive hood with lights, fans, and dual warmers. The extraordinary 120+ sq.ft. kitchen island, equipped with a prep sink and plenty of space for barstools is ideal for catering large parties. The countertops throughout the estate are beautiful high-end granite, which are paired with raised panel, upgraded cabinets, featuring crown molding in all the right places. In addition to more cabinet space than you could possibly use, the kitchen also features two large pantries for additional food storage. The hallway off the kitchen (to the right) leads to an upgraded powder bath, and an oversized laundry room. The laundry also features a wall of upgraded cabinetry and oodles of granite counter space, as well as another sink, and space for an additional fridge as well as an additional freezer. The hallway off the kitchen (to the left) leads to the bedroom area, featuring 2 large rooms on the right, each containing outsized walk-in closets, sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom (each room has its own sink / countertop area, but shares the tub / shower and toilet areas). At the end of the hall is the final bedroom (an ideal in-law suite), which is the largest of the 3 bedrooms on this side of the house, features a huge walk in closet, and full private bath, with an exterior door (to the covered patio) as well. As you make your way into the resort-style backyard (either via the private door off bedroom 3, the door from the bonus room, or the large 12 foot glass sliding door off the great room), you will be impressed by the extensive covered patio (featuring dual ceiling fans and multiple outdoor speakers) supported by 3 large column pillars sitting atop cultured stone and capstone bases. That same upgraded stone design is carried into the backyard, and was used to build ~150 linear feet of raised planters as well as a gas fire-pit. The patio is also plumbed for gas and ready for you to design your own outdoor kitchen. As you make your way from the covered patio into the backyard, you will be impressed by more than one dozen full size trees surrounding the yard, interspersed between the aforementioned elevated planters and the rolling mounds throughout the yard. The backyard also features multiple sitting areas: under the large covered patio, around the multi-tiered water fountain, around the gas firepit (to roast marshmallows, or stay warm on a chilly winter night), or along the sitting area running the length of the full size sport court while you watch basketball, volleyball, racquet sport, or hockey games. The court is a $30,000+ authentic "Sport Court" product, featuring the state of the art "Powergame" surface (a high-traction, low abrasion surface with a 10-yr warranty), two "Pro-slam system" adjustable basketball set ups (featuring NBA sized glass backboards, breakaway rims, backboard pads, and the ability to be raised and lowered between 7' and 10'), a multi-purpose net and net adjustment system (adjustable to men's and women's volleyball height, tennis, badminton, or other paddle sports), and two 1,500 watt flood fixtures installed on a steel powder coated pole to light the court up during the evening as if it were mid-day. The estate also features more than 14 flood lights (mostly motion sensored) throughout the rear and side yards to allow for late night entertaining (and to ward off would-be intruders). This luxury estate is also "green", in every aspect of the word. It was built using the most energy efficient building products. It boasts upgraded insulation, dual pane / low-e windows, $20,000+ in upgraded wood shutters and "Ultra Vision" window tint (a carbon base film that has a 99% UV blockage and high ultraviolet reduction, while not impairing views, or making interior rooms feel dark). To top it all off, this property features a $25,000+ solar system which is fully paid off, on-grid, and comes with a transferrable 20-yr warranty. This system saves ~$300 per month in energy costs ($72,000 savings over life of the system), and was installed last year, and is therefore grandfathered into the Net Metering program. From a technological perspective, this estate is a dream come true. It features a web-enabled exterior security camera system with eight different cameras (night vision capable) allowing visibility to the entire exterior of the property, as well as a state-of-the-art interior security system with sensors installed on all windows, doors, and includes motion sensors. The estate also boasts a smart-home centralized hub for cable, security, internet and telephone communications. To top it all off, there is an upgraded surround sound system installed throughout the interior and exterior (covered patio and sport court) of the property, which features 15 speakers with individual volume controls. This ~4,800 sq.ft. luxury estate can be yours for $649,000, a price well below that of the local comparable properties, especially when you incorporate the countless upgrades and benefits.
