Vista Ridge Subdivision Custom Design
Owners spared no expense in creating this one of a kind custom dream home. 1528 Vale Place boasts upgrades that discriminating buyers will appreciate. Mark and Terry made this into a really special home. Some of the outstanding features include:
Hunter Douglas Window Treatments
For starters, the home, finished in 2007, boasts custom window treatments throughout. All blinds are by Hunter Douglas. Most are Top/Down Bottom/Up window treatments. The master bedroom blinds are a dual-style, offering both “blackout” and a veiled, discretion option. Or have the blinds centered to allow light in from above and see the yard below. Many of the window treatments are also LiteRise cordless treatments. Bedrooms feature blackout style blinds so you can sleep in mornings. There is even a stylish treatment at the patio sliding door that opens in either direction. The glass door to grill/patio has a control along the top edge to open/close internal blinds. A must see!

Casablanca Ceiling Fan Light Fixtures
For cooling your home at 1528 Vale Place or simply keeping it fashionably lit, you’ll appreciate the four Casablanca ceiling fans. I’m personally a big fan of this awesome company (pun!). There is no rocking or swinging of the blades, the motors run exceedingly silent and the fixtures look beautiful. Remote control options as well. Enjoy a comfortable breeze in the master bedroom suite, second bedroom, main floor study and the kitchen. Each fixture adds lighting as well. Speaking of which…
Light, Bright and Beautiful
Natural light abounds, but even in this beautiful part of the world we get snow days and clouds. And for those moments, there is ample lighting throughout the home. Owners installed over sixty can lights to brighten the house. The pantry is brightly lit. The master walk in closet with it’s California Closet is positively glows with light. There is under mount lighting in the kitchen at 1528 Vale Place. You get the idea, this house is loaded in every way.

Wired For Sound
Six (6) rooms boast wired sound from a central location (the stereo gear is tucked away in the study and basement). The wiring is all in place for you and owners are including all stereo components. The study, outdoor patio area, master bedroom and master bathroom, exercise/flex room and family room all boast in ceiling high definition sound system. The living room space in the great room offers surround sound including a built-in subwoofer plus the basement recreation area is wired for surround sound too.
Check out the storage area in the basement and you’ll find two additional features. There is a safe built into the floor – that’s not going anywhere. And to support the sound system, there is an advanced television tree. How do I describe it? Looks like a piece of space aged gear you might find at a music concert. The gear is designed to move your choice of television – cable, dish, DirecTv – around the house and power the whole house sound system. All the gear is included in the sale of 1528 Vale Place and the wiring is all done.
Owners are also including the televisions, remotes and wall mounts with the sale of the house.

The Laundry Room
Let me take a moment to talk about a room we all love (and hate a little), the laundry. This is a nice room. There is a tub for washing and it’s built into the counter top. Cabinets over the washer and dryer offer under mount lighting. There is a fan – an oftentimes overlooked feature. Owners also installed a drying line (retractable) and ironing board (hidden in closet). Plenty of light and a window for natural light. The washer and dryer sit on risers – and it is all included. Laundry set is fairly new (newer than home!).

The Kitchen!
The kitchen is just amazing. Okay, I’m the Realtor, so sure, I might be biased. But honestly, I could live in this house. Slab granite countertops, over and under mount lighting, soft-close kitchen drawers. Heck, there is even a professional cut out for the wiring for a television on the kitchen island (all included). Pullouts on all lower shelves of the cabinets will come 100% of the way out of the cabinet. Ideal for storage. There is a built-in desk with additional storage and display. Enjoy a cool refreshing breeze from Casablanca ceiling fan.
Stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Fall in love with your Maytag Refrigerator with built-in drink storage on door. Features water and ice dispenser, French double door with bottom freezer. Holidays and entertaining are a delight with stainless steel double oven by KitchenAid. The kitchen enthusiast will be the envy of the block with these great appliances. Rounding out the home, there are stainless steel KitchenAid dishwasher (with a bonus upper rack), gas range cook top, and microwave oven. Counter tops feature a tile back splash.
Look under the island and you’ll find trash pullouts plus ample storage for cleaning supplies. The drawers open at sink for storing sponges. And there is an appliance garage tucked into the corner. And then there is the pantry. It is custom built, a California Closet design with oodles of space and an electric outlet in case you wanted to plug in a dirt devil type vacuum to charge between use.
Hard Wood Flooring
The majority of the first floor living space is gleaming hard wood floors. The half bathroom and laundry room are tiled, while the master suite is carpeted. So, even that beautiful panty is hardwood flooring. Very easy to care for and looks absolutely stunning.
