About This Home
As of June 2025Perched on a glorious hilltop with sweeping views from San Pedro to Laguna Beach is this private, Santa Barbara inspired hacienda-style house situated on nearly an acre of land and boasting 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and approx. 3500 sq ft of single story living space. Surrounded by citrus and avocado groves and open sky as far as the eye can see, the home was built to embrace its natural surroundings with a large, covered wraparound deck and multiple open-air patios. An impressive entry and foyer welcome you to this warm and inviting home featuring Spanish tile floors throughout, beautiful arched windows and custom light and window fixtures. The spacious kitchen is the focal point of the home highlighted by an abundance of natural light, custom appliances and a Subzero fridge. A separate kitchen dining area works well for family dinners and the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining guests. The vast Master bedroom is truly a retreat of its own with a large Master bathroom with all custom features, Jacuzzi tub and natural light abound and a separate sitting area to relax and unwind. Guests will delight in their own one bedroom, one bath guesthouse with views from almost every room. And hobbyists will be amazed by the separate 800 sq ft RV Garage and workshop. Plus, a 4-car garage with Spanish tile floors and an elevator to main house offers ample storage and room for tinkering. First time on the market since being rebuilt in 1991… seize this rare opportunity!
