Property Description

This custom-built Ministrelli home is nestled in Painted Cove, a small, upscale, gated enclave of 76 gorgeous homes. The south-facing retreat enjoys spectacular southern views of the Santa Rosa Mountains from its highly customized courtyard, complete with a beautiful lagoon-style saltwater pool and spa, a large stone waterfall, and a beautiful gas fire pit island. With many areas for relaxation, the courtyard also features an Artic Fog System for misting the front and rear landscapes. Enter through double glass doors to views of the backyard's 75-foot saline PebbleTec lap pool, trimmed with stacked stone and three sheer-descent spouts. The open floor plan spans 3,750 square feet and offers four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a spacious living and dining area with high ceilings and a fireplace. The gourmet kitchen features an array of high-end KitchenAid appliances, a nook area, and a walk-in pantry. The master suite opens to the magnificent courtyard and features a custom-built walk-in closet with built-ins from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Custom wall treatments, additional built-ins, a laundry room with top-end appliances, a security system, and an oversized three-car garage complete the home. Add in those breathtaking mountain views and the community's three-acre dog park, and it's easy to see what makes this special enclave of 76 homes so appealing. This is your chance to acquire a true masterpiece and make it your desert home.
