MIRAVAL.  The naming of these award winning homes comes from  A Life in Balance and the property exemplifies that statement.  From the moment you enter this very private street you feel the difference.  Located at the end of the cul-de-sac with views of the world around you.  Private courtyard opens onto this two story dramatic front room.  Floating staircase and grand entry are the first indications that this home is different.  The two story living room is such a dramatic first impression.  Doors that completely disappear to the outdoor great room with TV room for a fireplace.  Then there is the  majestic pool.  Why not use the putting green that is in the yard to practice your game?  At over 8,000sq ft this lot was the first to be claimed. Kitchen is perfectly set up with a walk in pantry, dramatic center island and separate dining area for a more private affair.  There is a very large utility room next to the two  garage and right off the kitchen that keeps your items organized.  Then there is the staircase...you have to see it..beautiful  blocks of wood leading to the dream relaxation area... another family room/media room overlooking the downstairs.  The master suite is breathtaking with a walk in shower that can act as a steam room beautifully designed with marble and seating areas.  completely separate from the other rooms and you really feel as if you are on vacation when you are enjoying the space.  Laundry room upstairs is another bonus and is supersized.  All of the bedrooms are ensuite and very very generous in size with walk in closets. This private neighborhood  and layout won the Best Designed Home in the United States in the year it was built and received tons of media attention.  The complex sold out within a few weeks and has kept its unique vibe. Truly the pictures are good but this is a must experience home.  Mesa Verde is the perfect location.  Very quiet and tranquil yet close to freeway access, beaches and the famous shopping and art districts.
