4 Beds | 3 Full Baths | 3,544 SqFt | 0.7 Acres

Nestled on a beautifully improved property, this exceptional Walden Woods home offers a rare blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and long-term durability in a Firewise Community. The extensively remodeled main residence and newly constructed ADU have been thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive, high-performance living experience with premium materials and modern systems throughout. The main home has undergone a comprehensive renovation featuring Andersen 100 Series Low-E black windows, custom Pinky's steel entry doors, Allura fiber cement siding with a 25-year-stained finish, upgraded insulation, modern electrical and plumbing systems, and beautifully rebuilt decks with pressure-treated framing, Trex fire-resistant decking, and powder-coated hog wire railings. Additional improvements include a Navien tankless water heater, 200-amp electrical service, QuietCool attic fans, upgraded venting to current fire standards, sealed gutters with Leaf Guard protection, and extensive low-voltage landscape lighting. The detached ADU is entirely newer construction and offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, rental income, or a private workspace. Designed as a net-zero building, it features an 8kW solar system, high-efficiency three-zone mini-split HVAC, Milgard Low-E windows, tankless water heater, premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a stunning double-sided natural gas fireplace. Beneath the raised foundation, a full vapor barrier and stone base create valuable dry storage space. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, with rebuilt decks, covered front porch, extensive irrigation upgrades, automatic sprinkler systems, custom steel mailboxes, mature landscaping, and available architectural plans for a future pool. A Generac natural gas backup generator for the ADU provides peace of mind and is sized to support both residences. Future expansion opportunities include a potential 500 sq. ft. JADU addition and HOA/county-approved plans for a 243 sq. ft. third-car garage expansion. Combining timeless design, energy efficiency, fire-conscious construction, and extensive infrastructure upgrades, this one-of-a-kind property delivers the comfort of a newer custom home while offering the flexibility of a fully independent ADU and room for future growth.
