POOL & PANORAMIC GOLF COURSE VIEWS
in the Woodlands
Offered at $1,890,000
This elegant Woodlands home has a pool, panoramic golf-course views and attention to detail in every room. Each of your five bedrooms has a private bath, including the full guest bed and bath downstairs. This beauty has crown moulding, custom paint, surround sound, central vac, plantation shutters and custom stone flooring, too. You'll love the gourmet kitchen with a huge granite island, Viking stove, sub-zero refrigerator and double ovens. The family room has a gorgeous built-in media center - and wait until you see the yard! The stunning Pebble Tech pool and spa is paired with an outdoor fireplace, inner courtyard stone fireplace and patio area. The custom barbecue and bar seating with Pergola is "wow" worthy. Plus, without rear neighbors, you can enjoy the sunsets over the golf course! The awesome four-car garage with epoxy floors boasts an air conditioner for the work-out area. Don't worry about running it, either - because the solar lease saves you tons of money! This cul-de-sac located home is in the guard-gated Woodlands with a Junior Olympic-size pool, spa, sport courts, tot lot and more.
No one sells more Woodlands Homes than Kathy Bost of RE/MAX Santa Clarita, voted "Best Real Estate Agent" for seven consecutive years. 803-3114
Be Smart when Looking for Financing by Using a Local Lender
I remember my first home purchase. I had a budget for my new home payment and it was based solely on my current rent payment. I figured if I could afford the rent, then logic would dictate I could afford the mortgage payment at the same figure. I never sat down with my mortgage broker and discussed the tax advantages of homeownership, appreciation, principal reduction or the difference a few thousand dollars would have on my payment.
In hind-sight, had I been armed with some additional knowledge I may have stretched my budget enough to account for the new tax write-offs. I would have purchased a slightly larger home, raised my children in a nicer area and had grown into a home as opposed to quickly growing out of one. At today's interest rates, increasing your loan balance by $10,000 equals roughly a $60 increase in payment. By increasing your budget you might now be looking at a home in a neighborhood that will allow you to grow into the home and potentially live in that home long enough to pay it off or turn it into a lucrative rental.
Online mortgage companies can sometimes offer aggressive rates but lack in the ability to connect with the client, understand their long term goals and be their adviser for life. Your good local lender makes a living watching out for his or her friends, family and community with the mindset that providing good, knowledgeable advice and transparent financing options will result in life-long business opportunities and, more importantly, life-long friendships.
