About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked along the tranquil waterside community of Hidden Lakes, this modern European-inspired masterpiece radiates timeless elegance and architectural refinement. Distinguished by its smooth white stucco exterior and striking clean lines, the residence showcases a balanced blend of contemporary minimalism and waterside charm. Crisp geometries, large windows, and a neutral palette amplify the natural light and reflect beautifully across the water at sunset, creating a truly serene and captivating backdrop. The main living room features double-height ceilings and expansive picture windows that invite in panoramic lake views and golden-hour light. Just steps away, a chef's inspired kitchen anchors the home, complete with sleek cabinetry, premium appliances, and an oversized island perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. Indoor-outdoor flow is effortless thanks to wide sliders that lead to a minimalist patio lounge, manicured lawn, and private dock. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a quiet retreat, complete with a spacious en-suite bath and large windows overlooking the shimmering lake. Secondary bedrooms provide ample space and flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, all while maintaining the clean and calming atmosphere found throughout. Just out the secondary bedrooms, is a full sized balcony that shows off a completely different perspective of the property. Meticulously designed with a focus on simplicity, texture, and harmony with nature, this lakeside residence offers an elevated lifestyle in one of the area’s most picturesque settings. It's a rare blend of sophisticated European design and laid-back California living, making it a truly one-of-a-kind sanctuary.
