This home at 6841 Hampton Drive is no exception but adds a few more enticing qualities that elevate its appeal to just about irresistible.
Located in a quiet enclave of five homes, the turnkey property showcases a beautiful interior updated with a contemporary flair and fine finishes. A new Thermory deck with cable railing and bronze topped pillars creates an inviting entry into this 2,245-square-foot home. The open floor plan also seamlessly flows to an enchanting backyard sanctuary poised for entertaining, play and relaxation.
A majestic oak tree spreads its splendid canopy over the expansive, multilevel Azek deck. The backyard offers panoramic views that span across the valley with glimpses of Mount Hamilton and surrounding mountains. A custom-designed iron railing also captures the theme of sun, ocean and hills.
The almost half-acre property offers incredible privacy due to its elevation and fully fenced yard. Dine along the covered portion of the patio just off the kitchen, or lounge under an arbor and on the deck that abuts the sparkling pool. Steps along the terraced garden also connect to an expansive and level lawn surrounded by about 19 fruit trees and garden beds. An ideal play area, it also features an arbor over a flagstone patio. Hang a hammock or gather some chairs and enjoy a peaceful retreat venue.
