Casual Elegance at its best! Built in 1961 as an original Alexander, this tastefully upgraded Vista Las Palmas home sits on just over a 1/3 acre corner lot. A curvilinear front walkway leads you to the dramatic double door entry surrounded with flagstone walls. Interior renovations feature a Modern Contemporary style with a neutral color palette that creates a warm and peaceful aesthetic, while leaving options open for the most discerning buyer's imagination. The main house, with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus office and family room overlook the sparkling south-facing pool and spa, with waterfall. Gather about the outdoor entertainment area with built in V-shaped bar, BBQ and fantastic mountain views. The gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, and granite counters opens onto a huge family room, with convenient adjacent bath, for all to gather. The attached, yet connected by an over-sized 3 car garage, is a self-contained, one-bedroom guest house with living room, well-appointed kitchen and bath; doubles perfectly as a pool cabana. Just move-in and enjoy; or bring your own vision and restore it back to it's mid-century roots. Furnishings available.
