About This Home

As of April 2025

This beautifully updated California cottage blends modern style with timeless charm. Upon entering through the front Dutch door, you’re immediately greeted by stylish designer touches, like the dark cocoa-stained wood slat flooring, which balances nostalgic appeal with a contemporary feel. The home features three bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, offering both comfort and practicality. A fourth bedroom with custom built-ins can easily be converted to a home office. The layout includes a sophisticated powder room, a cozy dining room with romantic ambiance, and a spacious great room that boasts a wood-burning fireplace and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with sleek Carrera marble countertops and high-end stainless-steel appliances, seamlessly connecting to the formal dining area. The master bedroom exudes character, with its vaulted ceilings enhancing the room’s dramatic feel. A walk-in closet and expansive master bath complete this luxurious retreat. Outside, a charming brick pathway winds through lush gardens brimming with vibrant hydrangeas and delicate foliage. Follow the path to a private patio ideal for outdoor dining and discover a hidden dipping pool and hot tub. It's truly a dream home!
