Welcome to an exquisite retreat that embodies the essence of refined living, nestled within the coveted Springfield Estates neighborhood. Behind the gated entrance is a three-acre fenced in haven of security and seclusion, where there is both meticulous landscaping and thoughtful design with a fountain and a manicured lawn framed by a brick wall, designed to provide additional seating for gatherings. Conveniently located near historic Columbia, Columbia Airport and downtown Sonora, and a short drive from the beautiful town of Murphys, this exceptional residence offers elegance in a serene setting. Explore the grounds with a fenced, raised bed vegetable garden, and meandering pathways winding their way through fruit trees, and extensive lasagna gardens, featured in the Master Gardeners tour ten years ago. Retreat to the covered patio of the north side rear garden and indulge in moments of relaxation or entertainment of friends and family. Step inside this single level home to discover a meticulously maintained masterpiece that has been thoughtfully designed. The kitchen beckons with its functionality, boasting all stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a downdraft stove in the large island, and locally crafted wood cabinets; while the upgraded office features extensive built-in bookshelves, filing cabinets, and a desk area that can handle an extra-large (16-18 tall) printer, if need be. Luxuriate in the Master Bathroom, featuring leaded glass windows, a jacuzzi tub and a rejuvenating shower with double shower heads, with a hot-water recirculating pump, creating a sanctuary for rejuvenation and relaxation. The Master Bedroom includes a well-designed, ten-foot by ten-foot, walk-in closet. For the hobbyist, the oversized three-car garage offers ample space and convenience, complete with a half bath, utility sink, and, included in the price, is a rugged wheeled workbench. A large attic storage space, with built in shelving, is above the garage with stairway access.
