    Sweeping 180-degree western views from this exceptional and thoughtfully reimagined residence offering the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and versatility. Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated home showcases breathtaking sunsets and panoramic vistas from nearly every room. Designed for effortless living, the light-filled floor plan features updated finishes throughout to enhance the home's sophisticated appeal. The main level boasts a spacious primary bedroom with remodeled ensuite bathroom, custom walk-in closet and french doors opening to a private view balcony. The chef’s kitchen includes new custom cabinetry, designer backsplash, & premium Bosch appliances. Ideal for multigenerational living or long-term flexibility, the lower level can be accessed by an elevator and includes two bedrooms, a remodeled ADA-compliant full bath, a convenient kitchenette, and a secondary laundry area with an all-in-one laundry machine. The unique open concept floorplan also features a lower level bonus room with stone fireplace, perfect for a private office or additional entertaining space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Relax in the in-ground spa while taking in the expansive hillside views, or enjoy year-round entertaining in the beautifully refreshed, low-maintenance backyard designed to embrace the home's spectacular setting. Over $130,000 in recent improvements include new window coverings, updated landscaping, new wrought iron staircase railings and numerous cosmetic and functional enhancements that elevate both style and peace of mind. Ideally located just minutes from shopping, dining, scenic hiking, biking trails, Lake Hodges, Orfila Vineyards, and The Vineyard Golf Club, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends refined living, remarkable accessibility, and unforgettable panoramic views.
