Description
Some homes you tour. This one, you feel. As you pull up you are taken aback by the lush irrigated green lawn — front and back — a rarity in Tehachapi, where most yards surrender to the wind and snow. Here, someone cared. The extended concrete flatwork widens the driveway for comfort, and the RV parking means the trailer, the boat, the weekend rig all come home with you instead of living in a storage lot. Step through the front door and you immediately smile at the 1,737 square feet of open, light-filled living room anchored by a custom fireplace — the kind you'll be grateful for on a January night when the wind comes down off the mountains and the only place you want to be is right here, feet up, fire crackling, nowhere else to go. The kitchen stops you. Builder Richard Dearborn customized it to the owner's exact specifications — not a spec-home checkbox, but a real cook's kitchen, designed for the person who actually stands in it. You can already picture the coffee at 6 a.m., the counter covered in flour, the crowd that always ends up gathered here no matter how big the rest of the house is. Down the hall, three generously sized bedrooms wear custom millwork paneling — warm, tailored, quietly expensive. Space enough to be whatever your life needs: a real home office, a guest retreat, a studio, a gym, a library. Rooms that don't ask you to compromise. Then the backyard, and honestly, this is where the house wins. Over 600 square feet of poured concrete patio sets the stage for two Ultra Series gazebos shaded, permanent, built to stay. Set the long table under one. String the lights. Put the smoker in the corner. Beyond the grass, the Tehachapi mountains sit on the horizon like they were placed there for you, changing color all evening while your people linger and nobody checks the time. Morning coffee out here is a different kind of quiet. It's 13,503 square feet of lot — room to breathe, room to build, room to simply be. Tankless water heater. Endless hot water. One thoughtful upgrade after another. And here's what matters most: one owner. One. Since the day it was built, this home has been meticulously maintained, improved with intention, and loved. Nothing was deferred. Nothing was neglected. Homes like this don't come to market often in Tehachapi. Come see it — and try to leave.
