The Hsi Lai Buddhist temple is nearby and its rooftops can be seen by walking a short distance down the street. Entering the home you are welcomed by a spacious and inviting living room which includes high cathedral ceilings, a large expansive window, and a cozy fireplace. There is a formal dining room and a large breakfast nook which are on either side of the beautiful kitchen with dark granite counter tops. The family room is just below the breakfast nook and it too has its own fireplace. A gorgeous beveled double-paned sliding door is located in this room which allows you easy access into the low maintenance backyard. Upstairs you will find the bedrooms. The master bedroom is huge and shows off a retreat area. The master bathroom has a step down bathtub and shower combo, as well as a walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms are also spacious. A loft which can be used as an office or entertainment center is conveniently located on the second floor. Wooden plantation shutters and blinds are the window covering of choice throughout.
