This California-style Expanded Ranch is a beauty from start to finish and eminently turnkey ready, freshly painted inside and professionally landscaped outside. Step into the front entry hall and take in the fabulous step-down open concept living room and dining room set beneath a soaring cathedral wood-beamed ceiling, with a floor-to-ceiling raised panel fireplace with marble surround and dentil mantel molding as its dramatic centerpiece. A wall of windows showcases the dining room, inviting picturesque rear views into the room. A lovely three-season sunroom with sliders on three sides is an unexpected delight located just off the dining room, and opens to a large platform deck that spans much of the home, framed with garden beds, flowering bushes, shade trees and tiered rear yard beyond. A soft blend of grays and whites is the color scheme for the bright eat-in kitchen with large bay windowed views, enhanced with new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, pantry closet, a laundry closet with washer/dryer and a center island anchored on hardwood floors. A handsome first-floor oak-clad library/home office with raised panel walls, built-ins and desk is de rigueur for this home, providing a quiet respite for the homeowner. The first-floor bedroom wing is set apart from the rest yet resides on the main floor for easy living. Four bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and custom-fitted closets, include a spacious ensuite bedroom with French doors to a covered balcony, a walk-in closet and adjoining remodeled bath with marble-topped vanity and oversized frameless shower – ideal as one of two possible master suites. A marble-clad full hall bath, also remodeled, features a double vanity, and heated towel rack, along with a deep soaking tub located inside an oversized frameless shower that affords versatility of use. Each bathroom has radiant heated floors. A skylit second floor hallway introduces an enormous plantation-shuttered bedroom hidden behind double entry doors, complete with a beautifully appointed master bath that enjoys twin vanities, deep jetted tub, frameless shower, separate commode and heated towel rack. The piece de resistance is a room-sized custom-fitted closet suited for the pampered homebuyer, along with access to undereave and walk-in attic storage. The finished lower level recreation room provides additional leisure living, complete with a built-in bar and seating, wine rack, undermount fridge and a walk-in pantry, enhanced with a nearby wine closet and WiFi closet. A huge utility/storage room adds oodles of extra storage space to this spacious home. Direct access from the oversized two-car garage adds convenience. There is so much more than meets the eye in this sprawling home, nestled in one of Summit's lovely Franklin School neighborhoods – one not to be missed!
