Welcome to the community of Deer Ridge, one of Auburn's most picturesque and sought-after neighborhoods, where scenic trails, greenbelts, water features, parks, and sports courts create a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find!! Rarely does a home become available that offers this level of flexibility, luxury, and everyday livability. This beautifully updated 3,398 sq. ft. residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a highly desirable first-floor primary suite. The primary suite offers a private retreat with backyard access, coffered ceilings, soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and customized closet system. A second downstairs bedroom with an adjacent full bath is ideal as a nursery or guest room, offering families the rare flexibility of having two bedrooms on the same level while retaining the option to transition the space into a future multi-gen option. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and versatile loft workspace overlook the dramatic two-story dining room. The grand two-story dining room & dedicated office/library share the cozy view of the private courtyard, and the 3-car garage completes this exceptionally flexible floor plan. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed for gathering and connection, with dual islands, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, abundant cabinetry, pantry storage, and a large nook area with views of the beautifully custom landscaped backyard. The grand sunken family room, anchored by a dramatic fireplace and filled with natural light, creates an inviting setting for everyday living.
