948 Malibu Canyon Road is nestled within the coveted Heritage Hills community, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence holds approximately 2,507 square feet of refined California living, set on an elevated lot with greenbelt backing, sweeping city light views, and the kind of privacy that is increasingly rare to find.
Thoughtfully curated throughout, the home features a remodeled kitchen with Caesarstone quartz countertops, engineered hardwood floors, updated bathrooms, and expansive Milgard dual-pane windows that bathe every room in natural light. Premium James Hardie fiber cement siding, solar panels, and EV charging capability speak to a home that has been maintained and upgraded with genuine intention.
The private backyard, with no direct rear neighbors, offers a serene retreat framed by the greenbelt and the glow of evening city lights. Top-rated schools, scenic trails, dining, and shopping are all within easy reach.
No HOA. Turnkey condition. Move-in ready.
