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. Taken down to the studs & reinvented, the home delivers major outdoor space on an oversized lot teamed with all-new (never lived in) coastal-modern finishes. Surrounded by nature, this is an extremely serene location. A custom-gated entry leads to a substantial white oak pivot door with ribbed-glass side lites. Inside, vaulted ceilings & gallery-like walls are anchored by brand new wide-plank white oak flooring. The great room features an 85” linear fireplace. A massive window wall opens to outdoor living & surreal pano views. The chef’s kitchen pairs white oak custom cabinetry with quartz counters, a waterfall island, & true ‘picture windows’ revealing views beyond. Brand-new appliances: large Viking range, Frigidaire double unit, wine fridge, & built-in microwave. 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.
