Combining a tranquil and private neighborhood, mature foliage, and a simple, airy aesthetic with seamless flow, this 4BD / 2.5BA Mediterranean is the epitome of California comfort.

A relaxed mood is immediately established in the serene foyer, living room, and dining room, where walnut hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, French doors, and a stone fireplace accentuate the home’s elegant minimalism.

The adjacent remodeled kitchen—which overlooks the backyard and flows into the family room and a casual dining area—features custom cabinetry, dramatic stone countertops, a breakfast bar, and high-end appliances including a six-burner Wolf range.

Recent renovations brought new windows and doors, including a striking walnut entry door, in addition to gorgeous bathroom tile work and marble vanities, A/C, and landscape redesign.

Nestled beneath the embrace of blue sky and baby redwoods, the home’s inviting Mediterranean facade is flanked by a two-car garage and meandering paths to the rest of the nearly 1/3-acre lot.

At the rear, an expansive, secluded backyard provides an enchanting setting for both alfresco entertaining and play: a dining patio, fire pit, and hot tub are surrounded by an array of tropical landscaping, including agave plants and lemon, tangerine, apricot, and plum trees.

Coupled with a premier, Upper Westside Hills location between downtown and the Mesa, this property is a paradise of its own yet offers an effortless transition to natural beauty beyond.
