This beautiful home greets you with a gently curving stone walkway up to an elevated patio overlooking the western-facing garden. It creates a wonderful sitting area and a magical entry to this elegant main-level living home. As you step inside the expansive, rich hardwood floors and the gracious-sized rooms, it is clear this a special home. The open floor plan includes a great room with tall ceilings, built-ins, a gas fireplace, and a bank of windows overlooking the covered patio and stunning back yard. The large kitchen includes a granite island, a walk-in pantry, and a new built-in oven with microwave and opens to an eating area and the great room. The current owner recently updated the laundry room with a spacious layout, new cabinets and flooring. The main level includes a study and a huge primary suite with a walk-in closet to die for, a large bathroom and private access to the patio. The upper level has two bedrooms, plus there is a third bedroom or bonus room, which is ideal for a home theater, craft room or kids’ gathering area. One wonderfully functional feature of this home is the extensive amount of easy-access storage in the walk-in attic areas. The 1/2 acre lot provides the ultimate privacy in the back along with lush lawns, extensive gardens with beautiful plantings, a tool shed, plus a raised and lit garden bed. This is a gardener’s paradise and an ideal backyard for entertaining. It is not often that you find a main-level living home on a .56 acre lot in one of the most sought-after Hillsboro neighborhoods, which gives you easy access to Highway 26, three Intel plants, downtown Hillsboro and Tanasbourne.
