Property Description

This quintessential California Ranch-style home, tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac just a stone's throw from Eaton Canyon Golf Course, captures the ease and optimism of California living. Beautifully sited on nearly half an acre, the home was designed during a period of American architecture when indoor-outdoor living was paramount and everything simply seemed to make sense. Mature landscaping creates a wonderful sense of privacy while framing the inviting front porch, where weathered brick and a traditional red front door lend warmth and character. Beyond the front door, a proper entry with coat closet opens to the living room and dining area. The living room features original panel moldings, a stately fireplace with rich green marble surround, and warm oak floors that continue throughout the home. The dining area opens naturally to the den, creating an easy gathering space for modern everyday living. The den features a handsome raised brick fireplace that expands the seating area, while its asymmetrical design offers a subtle nod to the home's mid-century heritage. Two sets of updated French doors extend the room onto a broad deck overlooking the grounds. The adjacent kitchen is beautifully functional with generous cabinetry, a Viking range, and a large bay window overlooking the backyard. A connected laundry room provides additional storage and another convenient connection to the outdoors. Three bedrooms are thoughtfully situated together, including a spacious primary suite with substantial closet space and a remodeled full bath with double vanity. The two additional bedrooms share an updated, vintage-inspired hall bath with pedestal sink. Outside, the scale of the property truly reveals itself. Mature trees and established landscaping surround a sunny lawn, an arbor with climbing roses, a brick terrace, and multiple places to gather, dine, or simply enjoy the setting. A sizable driveway provides additional play and entertaining space and leads to a large detached two-car garage, once used as a workshop. Beyond, a terraced lower yard provides room to dream of a future ADU, pool, garden, or whatever comes next. With captivating curb appeal, an intuitive single-level floor plan, beautiful indoor-outdoor connections, and nearly half an acre of grounds, this is the kind of California home that feels as relevant today as when it was built.
