THE RESERVE AT NEWCASTLE
A former Quality Street of Dreams showcase home, this is a custom-built Chaffey residence where craftsmanship, privacy, and golf course prestige converge. Built in an era when “custom” truly meant bespoke, the home reflects a commitment to enduring quality and timeless design. The current owners purchased the home in 2006 and have cherished it for nearly two decades. They are only the second owners; the original owner was former Seattle Seahawk Steve Hutchinson, who owned the home briefly before relocating following a team transfer.
