Set on a private, newly landscaped ½ acre, this reimagined architectural gem perfectly blends rustic character with refined, modern design. Adding even more value is the newly built, and fully permitted, 1bd/1ba 498sq ft ADU ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. Inside features original wood roof line, expansive windows filling the home with natural light and tranquil views. The airy interior has been thoughtfully updated with all new paint throughout, new doors & hardware, ceramic flooring, wool carpet, and white oak hardwood in the loft & 2 custom modern staircases. A new electric fireplace adds warmth to the living area. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring Thermador appliances, custom walnut cabinetry, Madeirus quartzite countertops, and brass plumbing fixtures. The powder room is elegantly appointed with a Negresco quartzite sink, and the reconfigured primary bath boasts luxurious Tundra Grey marble counters and curated finishes. A newly resurfaced driveway welcomes you home, with pavers adding elegance to the approach. Retaining walls, hardscaping, and a brand-new front electric gate enhance both curb appeal and functionality. Enjoy relaxing evenings from the newly built TimberTech front deck with custom railing, or unwind in the private hot tub beneath the stars. This home captures the essence of Olivenhain living and has both privacy and proximity just minutes from beaches, top-rated schools, parks, shopping and the freeway.
