Santa Barbara Style charmer, built by Marc Kamrath, who was a local custom home builder. Built for him and his wife, this lacked nothing. River Island East is a gated community, well suited for retirement and ease of living. Upon entry one is impressed by the focal point of the great room, open to the kitchen and dining, a recessed & rounded fireplace trimmed in ceramic tile which features a gorgeous custom gas fired insert. The Deluxe gourmet kitchen has a tumbled marble backsplash & granite raw edged countertop, a service island, and a walk-in pantry. The ceramic tile floors run from the entry, thru kitchen, hallways, bathes & laundry room. Sierra views are extraordinary as this lot was chosen for its placement on the 14th fairway of the River Island Country Club, which was a premier golf course in the San Joaquin valley. There is a community pool for grandkids, plus the coveted privacy, and security behind a coded gate. The roofline covers a north facing patio looking out over the golf course. High efficiency construction beginning w/ the Serr 13 rated A/C, R-19 rated insulation in the 2X6 framed walls, & R-38 rated ceiling insulation. 5 ½'' upgrade floor trim & hand textured plaster finish bull-noised edges, wooden windowsills, elegant ceiling fans on 9' ceilings, & a walk-in master closet. Master bathroom has spa tub, tumbled marble stall shower. The 30 Solar panels on the roof reduces monthly energy costs. This is a rare home, of high quality fit & finish, appealing to a relaxed retirement or easy living scenario of privacy and security. Added 1/2 garage space for golf cart parking.
