This gorgeous 5,338 sq ft ChallUabamba home features 1,112.13 sq ft of land and a beautiful outdoor living and dining pavilion, as well as a kitchen, and gardens that are truly breathtaking. This fabulous, Mediterranean hacienda-style home shines with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, original Spanish tilework, carved wooden columns, a hand-crafted Indian wooden door, chandeliers, and a fanciful blue kitchen reminiscent of European country homes.  This one-of-a-kind home also has a covered sunroom, a library, landscaped lawns and gardens, and architectural details at every turn.

From the moment you walk into this country charmer, all of your senses are delighted. The flower-filled path that leads to the front door offers glimpses into the magic that lies behind the large wooden front door. As you enter the hallway, you walk down into the grand, sunken living and dining rooms, flanked by large windows that let in the light and air and give you a glimpse of the gorgeous backyard entertainment area. On the side of the living/dining area is a great bar, perfect for afternoon parties and before-dinner drinks. 

This open-concept area leads to a beautiful, blue country eat-in kitchen. All of the kitchen appliances are included in the purchase price, as are the light fixtures, window treatments, and a beautiful hand-carved Indian wooden door that serves as a centerpiece in the living room and library. Select furnishings may also be negotiable.

A side door going outside is located in the kitchen for a more casual entrance into the house. A laundry room and small bathroom are also located off the kitchen. On the other side of the Great Room is a relaxing TV room and library, where you can cozy up and watch movies or read your favorite book in front of a sumptuous, field-stone fireplace. For even more warmth, the inviting sunroom off the library invites you to be surrounded by nature in the all-glass structure that leads to the outdoor gardens. 

Down the hall from the library is the spacious primary suite, featuring a large bathroom with a good-sized jacuzzi tub and a skylight, as well as a separate attached shower room (ideal for "his and hers"). There is also an oversized walk-in closet. The indoor-outdoor feel of this primary bedroom and bath envelops you in light, making you feel as though you've stepped into a luxurious spa. A spa you can enjoy every single day!

Upstairs, you'll find an office with two guest bedrooms on either side of the study. Both bedrooms have large windows, and one has a small terrace. There is also a shared bathroom. All of the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms have heaters.

The pièce de résistance is the grand outdoor pergola and entertainment area, which features numerous seating areas, a dining space that can accommodate at least 10 guests, a large pizza oven, and a separate outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill, refrigerator, and all the necessary amenities to make this the perfect entertaining space. On the side of the pergola is a small, uncovered tiled patio area with a table and umbrella for smaller gatherings. There is even a darling outdoor guest bathroom that rivals that of a fine hotel, along with a tree filled with orchid plants, a fountain, and a green lawn dotted with beautiful flowers and shrubbery.
