About This Home

As of January 2025

Welcome to your dream home in the prestigious gated community of Promontory, situated at the highest point in Signal Hill. *Signal Hill was just named one of the TOP 5 BEST CITIES to retire in by LA Times.* This remarkable residence offers a blend of luxury and comfort, boasting four generously-sized bedrooms and a versatile layout. As you enter, you will be greeted by a spacious living room bathed in natural light, and a dining room featuring a beautiful stone accent wall, setting the stage for elegant living and entertaining. The stunning kitchen, a true chef's delight, has been beautifully remodeled with high-end stainless steel appliances, elegant cabinets, large island and striking granite countertops. It seamlessly opens to the great room, where you can unwind by the fireplace or enjoy a glass of wine from the wall-to-wall self-cooling wine cellar. One bedroom is situated on the main level, making it ideal for a guest room or home office, with an adjacent bathroom for added convenience. On the upper level, you'll find three en-suite bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for privacy and relaxation. The expansive primary suite is a personal retreat, featuring a cozy sitting area and a large balcony with city lights and mountain views. The upper level also includes a spacious loft with built-in cabinets, perfect for an office, play area or additional living space, as well as a conveniently located laundry room. Step outside to your private backyard, an entertainer’s dream, complete with a fire pit, built-in grill and stove top, and fruit trees, all set against a backdrop of serene landscaping. The home has been extensively remodeled over the past ten years, including updates to flooring, window treatments, lighting, and a state-of-the-art alarm and whole-house sound system that extends to the backyard. Situated near hiking trails, parks, and stunning views, this home offers both tranquility and convenience.
