Idyllic and tranquil, this meticulously renovated midcentury home features natural materials and cascading windows allowing views of the lush landscaped hillside. Situated on a nearly half acre lot on a quiet tree-lined street, the 3 bed, 2 bath residence is a sanctuary offering a seamless fusion of contemporary, tonal design and timeless European elegance. Intentionally architected for indoor/outdoor flow, the main living space opens to the newly landscaped and hardscaped outdoor space, featuring newly constructed pool and spa, vegetable garden, and seating area with custom fire pit designed by esteemed landscape design firm ORCA. The tri-level home was consciously renovated with grounding finishings close to the earth, including Venetian plaster walls, white oak flooring, custom interior oak doors and casing with Emtek hardware, and bronze faucets and finishings. The living room features floor-to-ceiling mid-century windows allowing abundant natural light and views of the hillside's mature landscaping and outdoor dining area. The heart of this home is the kitchen, with a custom-imported Fenix kitchen from Italy, flooring of ORCA clay pavers, and windowed Fleetwood doors overlooking the pool and vegetable garden. A perfect balance of form and function, the countertops are both scratch and heat resistant, and visually pristine and refined.

The adjacent dining room opens to an outdoor patio, ideal for entertaining and outdoor dining.

The primary bedroom sits on the bottom floor, with windowed doors opening onto the private and lush outdoor space with custom concrete outdoor fire pit and built-in seating. Completely gated and fenced, the home is a sanctuary, with a newly constructed resort-style pool and spa. A lush garden boasts two custom vegetable planters and avocado, lemon, Meyer lemon, mandarin, lime and apple trees.
