Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature native plantings, perennials and fruit trees at the end of a cul-de-sac, this single level home, located in desirable Windmill Ridge, is located adjacent to open space with access to the extensive walking and hiking trails for which Rancho Viejo is well known. The Wild Iris floor plan features excellent separation between the owners' suite, with separate tub and shower, water closet and large walk-in closet, and the two guest rooms. Two thermostat regulated evaporative coolers provide comfort on those warm days. The two-car garage, with built-in storage, has direct entry into the kitchen with a breakfast bar and sunny nook that lends itself to additional dining or a pleasant sitting area. The light-filled living room features a wood-burning kiva fireplace, large picture windows overlooking the backyard and sliding glass door leading to the inviting ramada ideal for entertaining friends and family. A separate walled and gated yard is a welcoming space for gardening or to give your four-legged friends an outdoor space of their own.
