It begins the moment you turn onto a quiet cul-de-sac and pull up to a modern retreat that feels more like a private getaway. Equal parts mid-century modern and resort, it's a home designed for living beautifully. Step through the front door and you're immediately greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings and an open, sunlit space where the kitchen, dining, and living room flow together while walls of glass open to the backyard, blurring the line between indoor and out. The re-imagined kitchen is ready for both everyday cooking and lively entertaining with its newer Jenn-Air six-burner stove, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, and generous elegant Quartz counter space. The gas-burning fireplace anchors the open living room, offering warmth and character. But the real story unfolds outside where this home shifts into full Palm Springs resort mode. The backyard was JUST completely reimagined with a new saltwater pool finished in mini-pebble and marble tile, a Baja shelf for lounging, and LED lights (must see photos!) that transform the water's mood at the push of a button for a jaw dropping evening spectacle of color. Back inside, 3 generous bedrooms, 3 baths and lots of closet space await. The primary suite overlooks the backyard retreat, a quiet perch where mornings begin with coffee and a front row view of birds and squirrels playing. Its en suite bath, fully renovated last year, combines Quartz counters and clean lines with thoughtful details, including a built-in vanity seat and spa-like shower with AKDY 52 In. 8-Jet multi-function tempered glass panel system. Luxe! Another en suite bedroom/bath with private entry and a guest room sit next to the fully remodeled common area bathroom. Behind the scenes, the upgrades are just as compelling: a new roof (2022), AC compressor (2023), plumbing overhaul (2021), attic insulation (2025), and water heater (2021) make the home ready for many years to come. Past the 2 car garage with 3 large closets, the front yard blooms with lemons, limes, roses, birds of paradise, hydrangea and aazeleas. Friendly neighbors keep an ongoing text chain looking out for each other. And while the home feels like a tucked-away escape, it's just a short walk to the ENERGY of Ventura Boulevard, with its restaurants, cafes, and shops. Quick access to the 405 and 101 makes the rest of the city just as reachable.
