Set behind secure gates in the exclusive Village Verde enclave—comprised of only 33 homes—this beautifully updated residence delivers privacy, comfort, and timeless style in a neighborhood where listings are exceptionally rare. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home spans 2,896 square feet and features a highly functional floor plan designed for both entertaining and everyday living.

The main level includes a spacious family room, living room with wet bar, dining area, open kitchen, and a full ensuite bedroom—ideal for guests or extended family. The fully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing a large center island, hardwood flooring, custom finishes, modern lighting, and premium appliances. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a fireplace, generous closet space, and a completely remodeled spa-like bathroom. A third ensuite bedroom includes custom built-ins and thoughtful storage. Extensive upgrades include remodeled bathrooms, new hardwood floors, updated fireplaces, refinished ceilings, new windows and sliding doors, Nest thermostat, interior and exterior paint, custom wrought-iron railings, and newly designed front and backyard landscaping. Residents enjoy secure gated entry, a community pool and tennis courts, and a quiet, neighborly atmosphere. Ideally located near Peninsula Center shopping, dining, grocery stores, scenic trails, and Del Cerro Park—this is gated Peninsula living at its finest.
