Located against the foothills at the end of a quiet cul de sac street in the gated community of La Vina, this home has been extensively updated throughout and boasts incredible city light views all the way to Catalina Island on a clear day. Custom gates across the front patio await as you return home. A double sided Indiana limestone fireplace greets you at the front door, setting the tone for this European Country Style inspired home. From the entry, the formal living room is to your left with soaring beamed ceilings. To your right is the gracious dining room with french doors to the front patio. The family room is on the other side of the fireplace with large windows overlooking the backyard and a passthrough to the custom designed kitchen.

From the kitchen, step outside to the entertainer's dream backyard with another double sided fireplace, two sitting areas, mature landscaping, string lighting, and a water fountain. Completing the first floor is the 4th bedroom with an oversized closet, a stylish powder room, and laundry room with direct access to one of the two single car garages.
