Experience refined desert living in the prestigious gated community of Winfield with this beautifully updated 5-bedroom Emerald Model, where thoughtful upgrades, elegant finishes, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living come together seamlessly. The home welcomes you with soaring 12-foot ceilings, crown molding, and California Classics 9.5-inch wide-plank wood flooring that flows through the open-concept living spaces. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring striking Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, crisp white cabinetry, a spacious breakfast bar, 48-inch refrigerator, built-in double ovens, Viking gas range with vent hood, Monogram under-counter wine cooler, KitchenAid warming drawer, and upper and lower cabinet lighting. A Blanco Silgranit single-bowl sink, reverse osmosis system, and upgraded fixtures complete the space.

The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with a dedicated sitting area, beautifully updated bath, and direct access to the covered patio. The secondary bathroom has also been tastefully remodeled, adding to the home's move-in-ready appeal.

Step outside to your own private desert oasis. The resort-style heated pool is complemented by a covered patio finished with distinctive Mexican tile, a fire pit, outdoor sink, and curved stucco BBQ island--creating an inviting setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining family and friends. A flagstone courtyard with custom entry gate adds another charming outdoor gathering space, while professionally enhanced landscaping with more than 50 lighting fixtures creates a dramatic ambiance after sunset, easily controlled through Alexa or Leviton.

Major improvements have already been completed, including a new roof, new flooring, updated pool equipment in 2022, and the addition of a pool heater, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy.

Garage space is equally impressive. The oversized 2-car garage features epoxy flooring and fully enclosed built-in cabinetry, while the separate single-car garage includes epoxy flooring, a workbench, and utility sink. An extended driveway provides additional convenience and parking flexibility.
