As first impressions go, this 3-year-old Vineyards at Tuscany home is a hit. The almost fifth-acre lives much, much larger thanks to the natural lands behind the home and the wide-open ''bonus yard'' to the right. The oversized 10x20 patio overlooks lovely gardens and plantings and the privacy is surprisingly great. Inside, the home is impeccable. Nearly everything in this home is optimized for automation and is loaded with ''smart'' features: three zones of HVAC with temperature sensors in every room; Eufy security system with 8 cameras and 3 control panels; upgraded CAT7 wiring to extract the maximum out of the available AT&T Fiber service; Google Home allows devices to connect with a single app and voice commands (including lighting and HVAC). The 2-car garage has additional built-in storage; bedroom closets have been customized for additional capacity and efficiency; there's a gas line already present should you wish a gas range instead of the current induction range; there's even a plumbing pre-installed should you wish a center kitchen island. Out an about, you'll discover that the swimming pool here is super terrific and ''Junior Olympic'' sized. And just outside the neighborhood, your tummy will love being so close to Mezcalito Mexican, La Cucina Italian, Likii Hibachi & Sushi, and world-famous HWY 55. Then, burn it all off at the nearby YMCA, Anytime Fitness or Victory Power Yoga.
