About This Home

As of April 2021

Nestled on the tree-lined streets of Valmonte’s coveted Grove section, and within walking distance of the energy of Riviera Village, the convenience of Malaga Cove Plaza, and the tranquility of the beach. This meticulously kept bungalow offers up a rare mix of privacy, community, with indoor and outdoor living. Step inside, and you’ll find custom floors underfoot and soaring, vaulted ceilings above. The home’s heart is its light-filled living room that features floor-to-ceiling windows, a brick fireplace, and skylights that fill the space with natural light. It all opens up onto a patio that’s made for entertaining thanks to a built-in BBQ, gas firepit, and seating area. From there, you’re mere steps to your very own private gate that opens up onto the Bridal Trail – A trail that’s beloved by nature lovers of all types. The sun-filled owner’s suite includes an office area, ensuite bathroom, and patio with direct access to the backyard filled with beauty and privacy thanks to all the newly planted privacy hedges and trees. Single-level in layout, the home offers two more bedrooms - one with a gorgeous window seat - and an attached garage. The many upgrades include but are not limited to a brand new roof, new air conditioning/furnace/ducting, remodeled full bathroom, custom garage door, appliances and many more. This kind of Valmonte beauty, location, and charm doesn’t come along often. Don’t miss your chance to make this coastal cottage home yours!
