A pine tree-lined street sets the tone for this peaceful Olivenhain home. Surrounded by mature trees and cooled by gentle breezes, it can feel like a getaway in Big Bear - yet Moonlight Beach is only five miles away. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 4,121 square feet of living area, the home has room to spread out and settle in. The great room makes an immediate impression with soaring wood ceilings, striking windows, and abundant natural light. In the designer kitchen, marble counters, a tile backsplash, high-end appliances, lighting, custom cabinets, and warm wood details were carefully chosen to work together. Wide-plank oak floors as well as beautifully updated bathrooms and laundry room carry that same attention to detail throughout. The primary bedroom includes a sitting area and walk-in closet, while a separate theater and hangout room gives everyone a fun place for movie night. The roughly one-third-acre lot offers several inviting spots for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or evening drinks. Mature trees provide privacy, while a small pumped creek feature along the north side adds to the setting. There is room to explore a pool, a garden, or even a small vineyard, plus an existing concrete pad at the back of the lot for an above-ground spa if desired. With nearby walking trails, excellent schools, and easy access to the coast, this is a rare combination of setting, comfort, and finish quality at a compelling value for Olivenhain. The hard work has been done; the next owner gets to enjoy it.
