Since 1961, this home has had just two owners. The kind who maintain things properly, improve them thoughtfully, and care more about doing things right than doing them quickly.
For the past 21 years, the current owners have raised their family here and mindfully improved the property along the way, drawn in first by the Dry Creek setting and eventually by everything this home became around it.
And honestly, the backyard is hard to leave.
With 65 feet of unobstructed Dry Creek greenbelt behind the property, the setting feels unexpectedly private and peaceful. A custom pool with an automatic safety cover, permitted 25x17 gazebo with imported structural beams, hot tub, multiple fire pit areas, programmable lighting, and direct stair access to Dry Creek create a space designed to be enjoyed year-round. Even better, the major exterior work is already done: landscaping, turf, and automated irrigation were all redone in 2025.
Inside, the home balances original character with meaningful upgrades. Original hardwood floors were refinished in 2022, complemented by four skylights and dimmable LED lighting throughout. The kitchen renovation included granite countertops, stainless appliances, custom pull-out cabinetry, a microwave drawer, hidden USB charging station, and touchless faucet. The guest bath was remodeled in 2026 with handmade Spanish tile, while the primary bath features heated floors and an oversized slate shower.
A separate bonus space with heated floors, its own mini-split heating and cooling system, and queen Murphy bed offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or potential fourth bedroom use.
The infrastructure updates matter here too: a brand-new roof with transferable 50-year warranty installed by a GAF Master Elite contractor, whole-house water softener system, and numerous additional documented improvements completed between 2021–2026 with receipts available.
Move-in ready is easy to say. What’s harder to find is a property where the view, privacy, and setting feel this connected to the way people actually want to live.
