Sweet Privacy! Up a long hidden driveway and behind a heavy wooden gate sits a smashing secluded 3 BR, 2 BA Midcentury home with mountain views. Away from the roar of the freeways and crush of the crowds, here you can find peace & quiet in the Big City. You will also find one of the grooviest gardens this side of Eden; A tempting apple tree, juicy orange, plum and lemon trees, plus veggies, Manzanita, bougainvillea and California sagebrush aka cowboy cologne. (Sweeten yourself by rubbing behind ears for big Saturday nights!)Meanwhile, back at the ranch style midcentury, open the door to style, grace and open space. It has one of those unbeatable 1950s open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and a 2-sided wood burning fireplace next to a cozy family room. Also inviting is the nice wide dining area by the kitchen. The galley kitchen is chic & sleek with Italian tile backsplash, quartz counters, two skylights, and separate laundry area. This slice of paradise has been home to two HGTV designers. They have respected the original and added some new world touches, such as 220V for charging electric cars, a blue tooth watering system (sprinkle from phone when not at home), plus new roof and all new electrical. A haven for all lifestyles; great party house (hot tub ready), perfect for raising kids (get a panoramic view of them playing or making mischief in front yard or back patio). And treat yourself to some privacy!
