If you've been waiting for a modern home in Redding -- really waiting -- this is the one.

True modern homes are rare here. Most buyers searching for clean architecture, custom finishes, and intentional design end up settling or waiting years. 288 Tourmaline Way is what they've been waiting for -- and it was built by one of the most sought-after modern home builders in the Redding area: Arvid Engstrom Construction. Buyers follow his work. They wait for his projects. They drive by his builds. This one is available now... and move-in ready!

Built in 2021 from the ground up in Lake Redding Estates, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,780-square-foot contemporary single-story is an Engstrom build through and through. The architecture is clean and deliberate -- flat roofline, horizontal lap siding, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a street presence that stops you. A warm wood front entry door anchors the facade between crisp stucco and board-and-batten siding panels. Inside, every detail reflects the craftsmanship his name is known for: custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, smooth drywall finish, no builder-grade texture, recessed lighting, and oversized windows that flood every room with natural light. The ceiling height and window placement are deliberate. The light in this home is something buyers notice the moment they walk in.

The open-concept floor plan centers on a large kitchen island with seating -- the kind of island a family actually gathers around -- flowing into a living room with a shiplap feature wall and a sliding glass door to the covered back patio. A dedicated flex room off the kitchen is finished with countertops and cabinetry and works as a butler's pantry, drop zone, or fill in the blank depending on how you live. Everything is connected. Nothing feels like an afterthought.

The primary suite delivers spa-level finishes: a tiled walk-in shower, designer vanity, and a walk-in closet that actually fits a wardrobe. Two additional bedrooms -- bright, well-proportioned, and finished to the same standard as the rest of the home -- share a full guest bathroom. The laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen and the 2-car finished garage provides direct interior entry.

Step outside and the covered concrete patio sits under the roofline -- a true outdoor room built into the architecture of the home, not a bolt-on patio cover -- overlooking a fully landscaped, privacy-fenced backyard. This is the kind of backyard that gets used. A side yard with RV parking access adds flexibility that buyers at this price point rarely find. Level lot. Fully irrigated landscaping front and back. Zero compromises.

Location seals it. Lake Redding Park is steps away with direct trailhead access to the Sacramento River Trail -- 17.4 miles of paved riverside path, a designated National Recreation Trail, and a Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Hall of Fame inductee. The trail connects to 200+ miles of multi-use routes, runs past the iconic Sundial Bridge, Caldwell Park, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, and links north via the Sacramento River Rail Trail toward Shasta Dam. For runners, cyclists, dog walkers, and families -- this location is unmatched in Redding. Downtown Redding restaurants, shops, and waterfront entertainment are minutes away.
