Hidden away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this extensively rebuilt single-level home is exceptional. Featuring panoramic views of rolling hillsides, Saddleback mountain in the distance, a crisp ocean horizon, Dana Headlands, vibrant year-round sunsets, & Catalina island, all from nearly every major room. Taken down to the studs & reinvented, the home delivers major outdoor space on an oversized lot teamed with all-new (never lived in) coastal-modern finishes. Surrounded by nature, this is an extremely serene location. A custom-gated entry leads to a substantial white oak pivot door with ribbed-glass side lites. Inside, vaulted ceilings & gallery-like walls are anchored by brand new wide-plank white oak flooring. The great room features an 85 linear fireplace.

The primary suite opens to the backyard with floor-to-ceiling sliders framing Dana Headlands below. A spa-like bath features dual sinks, soaking tub, reeded-glass windows, & walk-in shower with dual heads. Two guest baths continue the theme: elevated materials & stylish design.
