Description
This beautifully remodeled, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom modern ranch-style home is a move-in ready masterpiece tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac with EXCEPTIONAL views! You will love taking in the Sunsets and mountain vistas from multiple rooms in the home and from the upper and lower decks. The curb appeal is immediate, featuring a tasteful blend of brick and wood paneling accented by frosted-glass doors on both the main entrance and the garage. A lush front lawn and vibrant foliage frame the property, offering a warm welcome the moment you pull into the driveway. Step inside to find an open, airy layout where two expansive living areas are elegantly divided by a massive, double-sided fireplace. To the right, the heart of the home awaits: a stunning chef's kitchen boasting light marble countertops, a crisp backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and high-end appliances finished with sophisticated brass fixtures. The bar seating flows naturally into a dining area set beneath a striking wood-paneled ceiling, perfectly positioned next to the second fireplace for cozy evenings. Massive sliding glass doors dissolve the boundaries between inside and out, flooding the space with natural light and framing incredible, far-reaching views. The home is finished with contemporary laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and central AC throughout. A dedicated laundry area with ample storage sits adjacent to a half bathroom and Butler's Pantry. Each of the three bedrooms is bright and generously sized, including a primary suite that offers its own private bathroom and direct glass-door access to the outdoor retreat. The backyard is nothing short of a private oasis. A sprawling deck provides the perfect vantage point to soak in the neighborhood views while relaxing or entertaining. Below, a paved, covered patio offers a cool escape next to a majestic California Oak and fresh greenery. The centerpiece of the outdoor experience is the sparkling, private pool, a secluded sanctuary perfect for cooling off on sunny afternoons. Perfectly situated near Balboa Blvd. and Plummer Street, this home offers easy access to the 405-freeway and a variety of local restaurants, markets, and shopping centers. This is a true dream home that checks every box. And did we mention the views?!
