Curb appeal galore with symmetrical front dormers framing the upper level, and a gabled, covered portico over the entrance is complemented by a classic white picket fence and lush cottage-style landscaping. Once inside, a skylit foyer with rich wide-plank floors and a wrought-iron staircase sets a refined tone. Immediately to the right, a dedicated home office featuring a bay window offers an ideal workspace, while an adjacent main-level guest suite includes a kitchenette, lovely tiled bath, and a private exterior entrance. Beyond the staircase, there's a formal dining room currently set up as a conversation area, wide and airy hallway, and a convenient powder room for your guests.

Upstairs, three gracious bedrooms all offer high ceilings and lovely picture windows, with the two lovely secondary bedrooms anchored by a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks. Checking all the boxes, the fabulous primary retreat features a double-door entry, high architectural ceilings, warm oak flooring, built-in media cabinet, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub. And last but certainly not least, a beautiful bank of French doors transitions the interior into a private outdoor sanctuary tailored for entertaining, complete with a covered lanai for alfresco dining, an expansive lawn, and a sparkling swimming pool towards the rear of the property. Distinctive and truly exceptional, 12359 Califa Street is an absolute must-see property set within a coveted Valley Village enclave of fine residences on generous sized lots.
