The living room features a cozy fireplace and is open to the kitchen. The culinary space will impress, with exquisite marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, a center island and an incredible built-in “appliance garage” to prevent counter clutter. An inviting bar with a beverage center completes this space. Hardwood floors run tastefully throughout the main areas and bedrooms. The master bedroom is an expanded retreat with a two custom walk-in closets, French doors leading to the backyard, and an ensuite bathroom featuring custom tile flooring, dual vanity, walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. Three additional roomy bedrooms offer ample space for family, guests, or a home office, depending on your lifestyle.

This outdoor oasis offers a technical setup worth boasting about; advanced audio-visual features include an incredible sound system with zoning, in-ground subwoofers, etc. The centerpiece of your outdoor living area is a mesmerizing pool with: pebble tec surface, baja shelf, bar seating, raised spa with soothing waterfalls, and fire bowls. Enhance your evenings with the in-ground fire pit, accompanied by a custom concrete seating bench. Did we mention that this home comes with over 30 paid off solar panels!? As if all of this wasn’t enough, this home is located on a top street for Halloween trick or treating, Easter egg hunts, 4th of July events, community gatherings, and the popular Mesa Verde Holiday Golf Cart Parade. 1868 Samar Drive isn't just a home; it has every bit of the Location, the Luxury, and the Lifestyle.
