In 2025 the Eaton Fire took the home on this lot. What stands here is a complete rebuild. Permitted, and done right. Drive these streets and you pass framing and scaffolding, most of it a year from move-in.. not this one

A large walk-in pantry adds storage. Built-in surround sound carries through kitchen, family room and dining. The formal living room features an electric fireplace and custom built-ins.
Every bedroom is en-suite, pre-wired for television, with built-in closet shelving. Nobody waits, nobody shares.
