About This Home

As of September 2025

Down a private, gated drive, a hidden Shangri-La reveals itself an enchanting retreat nestled among a majestic sycamore grove and the fragrant foliage of Zuma Canyon. This newer build modern single-story home sits at the rear of the property, presiding over a sparkling pool and more than an acre of lush, mature landscaping. A secluded Creekside sanctuary just one block from the beach, it offers the perfect blend of nature, privacy, and luxury. Expansive clerestory windows and floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect the kitchen and Great Room to a large entertainment deck, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Warm hardwoods, polished concrete floors, and fireplaces in both the Great Room and primary suite create an inviting atmosphere year-round. Completing this rare offering is a detached, open-plan guest studio with a private entrance ideal for visitors seeking their own tranquil hideaway.
