7282 W CAMINO DE ORO -- Situated on a premium 0.6-acre cul-de-sac lot siding to the greenbelt in the highly desirable gated community of Talas, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully appointed home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and livability inside and out. The setting is exceptionally quiet and peaceful, with no through traffic and limited surrounding traffic flow--yet just minutes from the 101, shopping, dining, hiking trails, and top-rated schools. The home offers striking curb appeal, enhanced by mature trees and custom landscape lighting that creates a stately yet inviting first impression--especially in the warm glow of the evening. The layout is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. A dramatic two-story circular entry welcomes you inside and sets the tone for the home's spacious, well-designed interior. The chef's kitchen features gas cooking with a vented range hood, double ovens with a warming drawer, stainless steel appliances, and a custom travertine backsplash. Extensive cabinetry with roll-outs and a 13-foot butler's pantry provide exceptional storage, while the large island and generous eat-in space create a natural gathering point. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room with a gas fireplace, extending the central living area. A formal dining room, along with a front living room and private first-floor office/den with French doors, offers flexibility for entertaining, work, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, a wide central hall leads to the spacious primary suite--a private escape with its own gas fireplace, large bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, generous closet, and a private deck with mountain views and spectacular sunsets. Also upstairs are three additional bedrooms--one with an en suite bath, and the other two adjoined by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a double vanity--all with new carpet. A large bonus room completes the upstairs, providing additional flexible living space ideal for media, play, or fitness. Back downstairs, French doors off the family room and kitchen open onto a large, covered patio with a built-in gas grill, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A sparkling pool with attached spa, kiddie pool, and playful water feature enjoy their own distinct space, surrounded by an expansive cool deck enclosed by wrought iron fencing. A serene west-facing courtyard provides an additional outdoor living area. The oversized lot and greenbelt adjacency enhance both privacy and open space, with beautiful sunset views to the west, while mature shade trees and custom landscape lighting further contribute to the resort-like feel of this inviting, tranquil setting.
