Hidden away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this extensively rebuilt single-level home is exceptional. Featuring panoramic views of rolling hillsides, Saddleback mountain in the distance, a crisp ocean horizon, Dana Headlands, vibrant year-round sunsets, & Catalina island, all from nearly every major room.

The primary suite opens to the backyard with floor-to-ceiling sliders framing Dana Headlands below. A spa-like bath features dual sinks, soaking tub, reeded-glass windows, & walk-in shower with dual heads. Two guest baths continue the theme: elevated materials & stylish design. Three generous guest bedrooms - one, a perfect home office with large window walls to the rear yard. A central laundry room with ample white oak storage accommodates a stackable. Spacious outdoor wraparound yard offers multiple zones to lounge, dine, & entertain with an in-line gas fire pit, new turf, & futured ADU hook-ups.

This is truly an incredible home, sure to impress anyone who experiences it.
