Description

Gorgeous reimagined Mid-Century Modern residence, originally crafted by Galaxy Homes in 1964. From the moment you arrive, a custom paneled entry door sets a warm tone, opening to an elegant foyer adorned with Venetian plaster walls and premium engineered wood flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the home. Expansive living and family rooms are bathed in natural light, featuring high ceilings, recessed lighting, and a fireplace creating inviting spaces that feel both grand and intimate. The generous dining area is designed for memorable gatherings, effortlessly accommodating large-scale entertaining. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with modern cabinetry, quartz countertops and upgraded stainless steel appliances perfect for both everyday living. Each bathroom feels like a spa, offering floating vanities, designer tile work, and elevated fixtures. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat, complete with a private bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. Designed with both function and style in mind, the home also features a dedicated laundry room with abundant storage. The entertainer’s backyard is a true sanctuary highlighted by an oversized covered patio, a sparkling pool with an expansive deck, and a low-maintenance lawn framed by lush, thoughtfully designed landscaping. Modern efficiency meets quality with fully paid solar (41 panels), updated HVAC, a newer 200-amp electrical panel, energy-efficient windows and doors, solid core interior doors, custom millwork, and LED lighting throughout. Completing the property is a fully permitted JADU conversion, offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living or income potential.
