This coveted Palm Hill home offers a 12,000 sq. ft lot with a large level landscaped yard and a Mid-century home. The formal entry steps down to the great room with living, dining and lounge areas.

There is also a hall full bathroom and a lovely remodeled guest half bathroom. Recessed lighting and speakers in great room. The private front yard offers a spacious lawn, mature orange & olive trees. Lovely upgrades include all Anderson duel-pane low E SmartSun tempered with Argon windows and sliding doors.

The home is enhanced by hardwood floors, built-in closets, many floor to ceilings windows/doors, and outside there is a built-in gas firepit, raised stone garden beds in back, and low rock retaining walls in frontyard. Repairs and improvements made in 2013 include complete electrical upgrade; total drainage upgrade to include multiple drains, new driveway paved; new sound system video/music; and new gas fireplace.
