About This Home

As of March 2017

Sunrise to Sunset, Dusk to Dawn, welcome to the essence of serenity and tranquility. This residence has undergone a complete renaissance. The current owners have constructed a beautiful synergy between casual Southern California living and formal elegance of style and character. Location is in a little known quality enclave with a high elevation for stunning panoramic views! Impressive curb appeal, generous dimensions and exceptional utility. Please see supplemental remarks for all the details! Highlights View - The view is THE VIEW! Why? Because it is featured in all the primary living and sleeping spaces and the entertainment spaces. Due to the elevation and topography, there is great privacy from most of the neighboring residences. TWO full master suites - yes you read that right, and BOTH are fantastic! One master features an large deck with an endless panoramic view to the west and surrounding rolling green hills. It also has a direct stairwell to the pool deck below. The other master suite features the bath with a steam shower so everybody gets something fabulous! Kitchen - complete remodel. New Kitchen cabinetry which is all hardwood cabinets (no particle board). Also has dovetailed soft-close drawers and doors. Frigidaire "Glallery" and "Professional" appliances, an amazing Chef's dream SMEG (Italian) gas range, fantastic quartz counters throughout, huge eat in island, perfect for entertaining, generous size walk-in pantry, and classic farm sink. Baths - all baths have been remodeled, featuring quartz counters, Hansgrohe water fixtures, Toto toilets and modern light fixtures. The two Master Baths each feature dual sinks and large showers; including one with a steam shower and includes rain-shower heads. Additional Bedrooms - There are two guest bedrooms on the 1st floor with a shared remodeled bath. Generous in size, they can easily be used as offices, guest suites or craft rooms. The media room on the 2nd story can be converted to a 5th bedroom if need be. Living spaces - This home is the perfect combination for all sorts of uses. It not only has a formal living room and a grand dining room, it has a family room off the kitchen. Best element of the family room is the tri-fold slider, that when fully open, integrates the indoor into the outdoor. There is also a separate media/game room on the 2nd floor with convenient wet bar and fridge. Pool, Spa and Deck - Entertainer's delight, you have sit down, stand up, and outdoor dining views forever! The backyard has a real quality size pool, but retains plenty of space for chaise lounges, areas for games and activities, outdoor dining and BBQ. Around the side of the home, there is an large dog run area which also has direct access to garage for those inclement weather days when the pups just don't want to be outside while you are at work! Pool is heated! Helix Mont Circle - This idyllic street is little known as it's off the beaten path. So no traffic issues and the surrounding homes are generous in size and stature. The drive up curb appeal is wonderful and has a large two car garage with epoxy coated floor, spacious driveway and plenty of storage! General - House has a new title 24 compliant concrete roof (Tile by Eagle- Belair), a new 3-zone 6-ton HVAC with significant amounts of new ducting and WiFi enabled controls. Travertine tile in the entry, hallway, family and kitchen. The rest of the home has plush luxurious carpeting. Entire home has been freshly painted with a modern look and clean lines. New Energy Star rated Low-E windows and sliding doors and R-38 insulation installed above the new second master suite. Also new landscape/hardscape front and back, new fencing and gatres, new low voltage landscape lighting, new automatic drip irrigation system, new drainage system tied to gutter downspouts and a new retaining wall against property to the west.
