Hardwood floors throughout the main floor living areas, plantation shutters, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a wood-burning brick fireplace add warmth and character. The flexible floor plan features an open kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright dining area that connects seamlessly to the living spaces. The main level includes a bedroom and adjacent bath with walk-in shower, while upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, including two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks and granite countertops. A distinctive A-frame room adds flexibility and architectural character, making it ideal for a bonus room, playroom, home office, or creative space. Two outdoor living areas further enhance the home’s appeal. The front patio offers privacy behind a brick wall and vinyl fencing, while the rear patio provides a shaded retreat beneath a pergola just off the kitchen, offering multiple spaces for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle. The home has been well cared for over the years, with numerous updates and improvements throughout.
