Behind the Gates in the Beautiful Woodlands

Nestled in the heart of Valencia lies a house that’s full of light, modernity, and careful craftsmanship tucked into every corner. You’re welcomed by a lush green landscape, with immaculately maintained trees and shrubbery that give new meaning to the phrase “the grass is greener”. A few steps lead you up to the main entrance, guarded by an ornate gate that leads directly into the master courtyard, which is equal parts impressive and inviting with its stone console. Every aspect of the home’s exterior has been carefully thought out, and the attention to detail is impossible to miss.
This home is an entertainer’s dream come true – the entire property has been remodeled, and every inch of space is put to use as it should be. It’s lighter, brighter, and updated, and strikes the perfect balance between Friday nights in and Saturday night dining parties.
Inside the home, the dining area invites you in for a meal shared with friends and family. The area features a buffet and an expandable table for when your get-together is a little more than just an intimate get-together. There’s plenty of room for a cabinet to store any and all beverages, alongside a wine and drink cart to tie everything together.
Further into the house is the wine bar, accompanied by a cozy fireplace and a custom wine cabinet, crafted specifically to the taste of the homeowners. Tasteful wall art lines the room, and a beautiful oval window sheds light on the four chairs situated perfectly for when you have guests over for a glass (or two).
Right off of the kitchen is the very comfortable den, complete with fireplace and ample seating and lighting for those nights that entertaining takes priority.
The kitchen itself is every chef’s dream come true – the pantry has enough room to store any and all ingredients needed to put the perfect meal together, served up fresh on either the marble island countertop or the comfortable breakfast nook.
The transition from downstairs to upstairs living is emphasized by the staircase, which takes you directly onto the upstairs landing that connects the home’s three bedrooms. As with the rest of the house, the master bedroom and bathroom have both been updated and modernized, and a barn door in the bathroom gives the space an additional unique flair. Also in the master bedroom is a seating area, decorated thoughtfully and artfully following the home’s remodel.
