A luxurious Mediterranean style home with 4 bedroom 2.5 baths sits situated in the hills of the Shadowhawk Tract of Simi Valley. Its romantic appearance catches the eye of all. The many outstanding features and attractions, from the front yard through to and including that backyard are all captured in a single story environment. As one approaches the home, they are captivated by the exotic look of the front yard with its abounding green landscaping – large lawn area, numerous and various types of palm trees, complimenting shrubbery, stucco planters, stamped concrete and gorgeous hardscape.
The backyard is a great Mecca for entertainment presenting an equally exotic large, free-standing fireplace with a large extended hearth, decorative travertine and stacked stone surround and a sizeable grotto present on each side of the fireplace for firewood storage or adornments to enhance the area. In the middle of the stamped concrete area is a small Pergola style patio with larger patio area surround.
With all the wonderful rich tropical landscaping and atmosphere created by the surroundings, this yard becomes a romantic paradise. In addition to the patio area of the back yard, the side yard has an attractive stamped concrete patio as well. Let’s take a look at the inside of this magnificent home. The formal circular entrance has a leaded glass door that leads into the area with Travertine flooring accented by diamond shaped granite insets, a wonderful chandelier and chair railing.
A formal living room is stunning with its trey ceiling, crown molding, recessed lighting, raised panel walls and chair railing. Centered in the middle of one wall is an outstanding casted fireplace with large insets on each side presenting mirrored walls and glass shelving. An adjoining wall is a mirrored wall offering a double affect of the already good-sized living room. French glass doors lead to the patio and backyard, and windows that face to the back have custom window covering and roman style shades.
The impressive formal dining room has a six-lamp hanging chandelier with a ceiling medallion, in addition to a wonderful buffet inset. A warm and inviting family room features a fireplace with stone hearth and mantle, along with a cherry finished media niche. There is a lighted ceiling fan and French glass doors leading out to the backyard. The cook of the house will fall in love with this kitchen; it is a very large kitchen with a sizeable gourmet granite island complete with a 6-burner gas range and breakfast bar in the middle of the room.
Granite countertops, stainless steel sink and all stainless steel appliances: double oven, microwave, built-in monogram refrigerator, dishwasher and trash compactor adds to the great appeal of this awesome kitchen. There is cherry finished cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a computer niche as well as a handy butler’s pantry with cherry finished cabinetry and granite countertop. This room and its attractions could sell this house alone.
The breakfast nook sits at one end of the kitchen and at the open archway to the family room and is perfect for the quick bite to eat, a ‘cup of coffee and conversation’, or just a cozy chat area. The breakfast nook has a slider that takes you to the side yard. A hall powder room is all Travertine – flooring, countertop and framing that surrounds the full length mirror, and has ample linen storage area. The carpeted master bedroom with raised panel walls, crown molding, lighted ceiling fan, and chair railing has French doors to the patio.
It is accompanied by an exquisite master bath with dual vanities and sinks; one at each end of the bathroom with one having a sit-down vanity. Along the outer wall is a tempting oval tub with travertine surround and windows above with custom Roman shades. A tile surround shower has a sit-down bench and a hand-held sprayer hose for convenient showering. In addition to all this, the master bath includes a marvelous walk-in closet with mirrored closet door and a closet organizer, with room to either expand the closet or for additional storage.
A separate toilet room offers privacy from the rest of the bathroom. Two carpeted Jack & Jill bedrooms presenting closets with raised panel sliding closet doors and closet organizers can be found just off of the main entrance. The adjoining bathroom has stone flooring, tile countertops with dual sinks, a glass enclosed shower over tub, and a separate toilet and shower room. There is an additional fourth bedroom with carpeting, lighted ceiling fan and a closet with raised panel slider doors.
A nice size, work-easy laundry room has a countertop with sink, plentiful storage cabinets and a hanging pole over the sink. Fine-looking Travertine flooring can be found in the entrance, formal living room, formal dining room, family room, hall powder room, master bathroom, as well as the nice large laundry room; with all four bedrooms having carpet flooring. Offering great illumination, along with the numerous windows throughout, is recessed lighting in the living room, kitchen, hall powder room and the master bathroom.
A great plus for this home is the four accesses to the yards from the living room, family room, breakfast nook and master bedroom. There are many wonderful additional features too, such as dual a/c control, security system, all throughways are arched, all windows are dual paned with window sills, there is crown molding throughout and the highlight of all features is the custom painted mural walls with their Mediterranean theme matching the awesome exterior landscaping and hardscaping. There is an over-sized 2-car fortified garage with epoxy flooring, a pull-down ladder for attic access and convenient built-in storage.
