From the ground up, the owners watched this Rancho San Rafael home build scaffoldings and walls and floors and take form to see a family grow and play around the fireplace and exchange stories of the day's events. The living room and dining room has an open floor plan that extends to the family room right next to the bright kitchen; so that while Mom is cooking pancakes and waffles, the morning conversation never stops. The white-tiled countertops and chocolate brown cupboards wrap around a square space in the middle of the kitchen and allow room for kids to check up on grandma's butter cookies or just cuddle up in between glimpses of what's up for dinner. It opens up to the back patio which shares the quiet of the Verdugo hills, where Rancho San Rafael is distinctly located. A variety of greenery stays in the backyard and guards the wall of nature that seems to romance its surroundings. So as the Seller says: Welcome and enjoy our home!!
