The upper-level primary sanctuary offers a spa-caliber bath, an expansive walk-in wardrobe, and outdoor decks, complemented by a spacious bedroom with its own fireplace and attached executive office or TV den. The main level offers a guest suite with its own study, while the lower level features a large entertainer’s den with a fireplace and an additional guest suite. Through a breezeway, a bright, self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest casita features a full kitchen, kiva fireplace, authentic tile flooring, and a private view portal ready for memories to be made. A gated motor court provides room for guest parking, while an attached two-car garage offers ample protection from the outside elements.
