3 bed / 2 bath home on 2 acres just outside of Salida!  Located in Meadowlark Estates, literally a couple minutes west of Salida, along the paved bike/walk trail to downtown Salida.  This custom-built home designed by architect Ron Mazzeo, stands out for its well thought out floor plan, high ceilings, and large windows that capture amazing views! With 2,069 square feet it is the ideal size for one-story living.  The primary bedroom is located on the south end of the home with an en suite bathroom featuring a large walk-in tiled shower.  Bedrooms 2 and 3 are located across the home, providing privacy for guests.  The kitchen stands out with slate flooring, gorgeous granite countertops, and pendant lighting by local glass artist Brice Turnbull (he also crafted the dining room lighting).  Chefs will love the gas cooktop and electric oven (ideal for baking).  A center island provides additional seating for 4 when entertaining.  Cool winter nights are cozier with a gas fireplace to settle around.  Warm summer days are cooler with the newly installed air conditioning.  This home has numerous custom features that you have to see to appreciate.  When you are ready to step outside, the covered patio area provides the comfort of shade, along with views of Methodist Mountain. The well is permitted for 1400 square feet of lawn and garden use.  A separate garden area is fully fenced with producing raised beds and a storage shed equipped with an exterior pully system for raft storage.  To top it off, an oversized attached 2 stall garage includes a heated finished workshop / bonus room, for all your projects and hobbies.  This home is supplemented by solar energy, has access to shared irrigation water through the HOA, and borders an HOA-owned open space lot protecting your views.  Lovingly maintained by the original owners, it feels brand new.  Don't miss out!  Watch the virtual tour book.emeraldrealestatemedia.com/7670-Meadowlark-Ln, then call today for a showing!
