Fantastic home, built into a hillside and nestled in lush landscaping gives the feeling of an Italian Villa! The full beauty of the construction is better seen from the rear of the structure, where the driveway abuts an annual flower-covered pergola that shades the brick path leading to the side entrance. Here the door opens to a breathtaking large, bright kitchen! Natural pine bead board cabinets and light ceramic back splash meet the granite and Corian countertops. Tray ceiling along the room's periphery is where the angular walls meet a vaulted ceiling. A granite center island is also crafted with bead board and a grill right there on the island for super entertaining as guests gather around the heart of the kitchen. Wine cooler neatly located by the wet bar. A gas, waist level fireplace is built into the wall resembling a pizzeria brick oven. An office area in the kitchen, as well, looks out a large window to the beautiful grounds,
