Vaulted ceilings set the tone the moment you walk in, giving this Guadalupe home an open, easy, spacious feel. The split floor plan places the primary suite on one side of the house and the two additional bedrooms on the other. That's nice separation for guests, a home office, or anyone who values a little quiet at the end of the day. Laminate flooring keeps the main living areas low-maintenance. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a bath with double sinks, a tub and a shower. Sliding glass doors lead out to the spa, set beneath a pergola that frames the space and adds some shade. Out back you'll also find a storage shed, plus room along the side for an RV, trailer or motorhome. That last one is harder to find than it should be, and it may save you a monthly storage bill.
