Experience refined, resort-style living in this beautifully upgraded 2-bedroom plus office, 2-bath "Northstar" model in Sierra Canyon, Somersett's premier 55+ community. Set on an exceptional lot with a desirable east-west orientation, the home offers privacy, mountain views from the front and rear, and a peaceful connection to the surrounding common areas. The home sits above and backs to 5.875 acres of HOA-owned common area, with no rear neighbors and an extra-wide buffer to the south for added privacy. The east-facing backyard provides welcome afternoon shade—ideal for entertaining and summer BBQs—while the west-facing driveways help with snow melt during colder winter months. Outdoor spaces include an inviting entry courtyard with sweeping mountain views, low-maintenance xeriscape landscaping with full auto-drip irrigation front and rear, and a covered backyard patio overlooking tall reed grasses and panoramic mountain vistas. Recent upgrades include: Exterior painted in 2024 with low-maintenance stucco siding, keyless entry, an attractive security storm door, and full-wrap rain gutters. Oversized finished 2-car garage with a 4' bump-out for exceptional storage. Dedicated 240V/60-amp circuit makes it easy to add an electric vehicle charger. Newer LED lighting throughout and 9" blown-in insulation for added energy efficiency. Inside, the home features 9' ceilings, 5" baseboards, crown molding throughout, and ceramic tile flooring installed on the diagonal in the entry, hallway, great room, kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms. The bedrooms feature cut Berber carpeting, while the office has newer luxury vinyl plank flooring. Plantation shutters are installed in the bedrooms, office, and garage windows, with Hunter Douglas shades at the great room windows and slider. Three newer ceiling fan/light fixtures serve the bedrooms and great room. The chef-inspired kitchen includes granite slab counters, under-cabinet lighting, rollout trays in the lower cabinets, a breakfast bar, pantry, and Whirlpool Gold stainless appliances, including dual electric ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. The owner's suite offers a bay window, dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. A bright front bedroom is conveniently located near the guest bathroom, and the versatile flex space is currently used as a home office. The well-appointed laundry room is equipped for either electric or gas dryers, with 220-volt wiring, natural gas, upper and lower cabinets, and a laundry sink. The kitchen refrigerator, washer, dryer, great room surround-sound speakers, and two metal garage shelving units all convey with the home. Residents of Sierra Canyon enjoy active-adult, resort-style amenities, including the 18,000-square-foot Aspen Lodge, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, indoor pool and walking track, fitness classes, clubhouse activities, more than 27 miles of scenic paved walking trails, the Canyon Nine walking par-3 golf course free to residents, and year-round social events.
