About This Home

As of May 2025

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this exceptional property with a main house plus two additional living quarters is a true work of art that feels both timeless and soulful. The main house which is 2621 sq. ft. showcases stunning Old Spanish architecture, with a living room and a fireplace with open beam ceiling, arched doorways, and large kitchen windows framing picturesque views of the hills and reservoir. A red-tiled roof completes its charm. The property boasts a large private yard with tons of seating areas to catch the sunset, a large gated pool with a small separate storage area, and a detached two-car garage.
Set on a double lot, the property provides an unparalleled sense of space, seclusion, and privacy, creating a true retreat from the outside world, offering views of the Arroyo, Devil’s Gate Dam, and JPL.
The backhouse 1138 sq. ft. provides two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bonus room, with its own laundry closet and front porch with beautiful landscaping.
The third structure is a separate studio loft 794 sq.ft., with a full bath, high ceilings, and private back patio overlooking the reservoir. The studio also comes with its own laundry area.
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy private bike and trail access to Hahamongna Watershed Park. This unique property is a tranquil haven where architectural charm meets nature’s embrace.
