Here, you''ll truly enjoy a lifestyle designed for elevated living. Situated on an expansive 9,450 sq ft lot large enough for a pool or ADU, the home stuns with a showpiece open-concept kitchen featuring a 9-foot double waterfall quartz island, custom slim shaker cabinetry with concealed countertop appliance storage, a custom built-in dining bench with additional storage, a second prep/bar sink, and a professional-grade 36 inch 6-burner stove—an ultimate space for both entertaining and everyday luxury.

Step into your private backyard retreat, where indoor and outdoor living are perfectly integrated with new landscaping, mature citrus trees including orange and Meyer lemon, rosemary, and a detached bonus studio—ideal for a home office, gym, or creative haven. Practicality meets peace of mind with a new multi-station sprinkler timer, modern irrigation system, and extensive upgrades including a brand new expanded concrete driveway large enough for potential RV/camper van parking, new 200A electrical panel and updated wiring (2025), new tankless water heater (2025), new roof (2023), all new ABS drains (2021) and updated copper pipes, new AC coil (2025), and more.
