Exquisite home in Vinton Woods. California Contemporary style. Siding and roof made of aluminum, a “carefree” construction introduced in Vinton Woods by National Homes in conjunction with Alcoa.

Double front doors welcome you into this grand foyer entry with ceramic tile floors and grass cloth wall covering. The kitchen has the original maple cabinets, refinished to bring out the natural wood finish, copper backsplashes and copper cabinet handles. The breakfast nook opens to the living room and shares with it an entire wall of windows overlooking the wooded back yard. The living room has an impressive two-sided fireplace with limestone fascia to the ceiling and cantilevered slab for seating. The large dining room features furniture from a show home of this model. The three large bedrooms extend off the main hallway. Each bedroom has plentiful closet space with floor to ceiling folding doors.

The basement is absolutely huge and partially finished!! It has a large family room and kitchen/wet bar area complete with L-shaped bar with bar stools. A separate room provides ample space for an office or den. There is also a very large room suitable for a recreation room or playroom. A workshop area is behind the recreation room. Most furniture in the basement could stay.
Original oak floors go throughout most of the main floor. The rear patio extends the entire length of the home. Two gas furnaces provide zoned heating; two air conditioners new in 2006. Thermopane sliding glass doors are wood framed.
When seeing this home, it is obvious that it has been maintained through its existence. This neighborhood is one of the original National Homes neighborhoods, so great attention was given to the layout; it has its own exclusive club house with pool, tennis court and three ponds. It is very charming and classy as are the homes built here. Call today for your personal tour.[gallery]
