About this home
Welcome to this unique one-level remodeled ranch style home located in the highly sought after La Cresta neighborhood! This dream home provides serene, private living on an almost half acre lot. The beautifully landscaped backyard is like having a botanical garden and enchanted forest all to yourself. This 3 bed 2 bath home with a den (which can be used as a fourth bedroom or office) has undergone an extensive and thoughtful remodel. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious open concept floor plan that connects the lavishly appointed kitchen and dining areas with a large family room and living room. The sunlit kitchen is a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. It boasts new appliances, quartz countertops, marble backsplash, soft close cabinets, two pass through windows, and a sliding glass door that opens to an expansive deck. The deck features a built-in BBQ island, pergola, and leads to a spectacular backyard with fruit trees and raised garden beds where you can grow your own vegetables, herbs and spices. These amenities make this home ideal for entertaining guests and spending quality time with family. The primary suite provides ultimate comfort and luxury to its residents. It features French doors that open to the deck, a vaulted beam ceiling, natural rock fireplace, recessed lights, picture windows, and an opulent bathroom with a walk-in closet. The primary bathroom features a beautiful double vanity, a huge walk-in shower area with freestanding tub, and dual shower fixtures that truly elevate the bathroom experience. The two car garage has a 220V outlet and direct access to the kitchen and an attached bonus room that can be used as a workshop or home gym. Other upgrades include recessed lighting throughout, new plumbing and electrical, central heating and AC, dual pane vinyl windows, new flooring, and more. This home offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet is still conveniently located just minutes away from amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, banks, shops, movie theaters, pet needs, and more). The residence is in the highly sought after award-winning PVP Unified School District. Beautiful beaches, golf courses, and hiking trails are close by, and the home has direct access to a horse trail in the rear of the property. One of the best places to call home in Southern California! A safe, peaceful neighborhood great for dog walking and extremely family friendly.

Great buy in the La Cresta area of RPV! Nestled at the end of a private drive on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Crestridge neighborhood is where you'll find this unique one-level ranch style home. It's situated on a completely usable & beautifully landscaped 20,614 sq ft lot that gives you the opportunity to develop the home & yard into something spectacular while enjoying ultimate privacy. The home is definitely livable as it is but we have priced it so there's plenty of room to invest in a remodel & have plenty of equity left over when completed. The 2504 sq ft interior offers a step-down formal living room with natural rock fireplace, large dining area adjoining an informal living space, spacious sunlit kitchen, two nice-sized secondary bedrooms, indoor laundry room, full hall bath and the wonderful primary suite that features, vaulted beam ceiling, attractive fireplace, walk-in closet, huge bathroom, French doors that open to the deck & the former 4th bedroom that makes as a great sitting area or work space. Some upgrades/features include recessed lighting, dual-pane vinyl & wood-clad windows, newer central heat and AC system, two water heaters & a lightweight concrete tile roof. There's a two car garage with direct access to the interior and a workshop that was added to the back of the garage. Now to the best part, the yard. The serenity you will experience when you walk onto the expansive deck is very hard to come by. It provides a great space for entertaining & comes equipped with a BBQ island, pergola, lighting & multiple areas for dining al fresco & relaxing. Walk down the stairs from the deck into the amazing rear yard that will have you immersed in nature. It's like having a botanical garden & enchanting forest all to yourself. As you make your way along the meandering paths that travel through the yard you will enjoy the lush greenery & extreme privacy that make you feel like you're far away from the city. The yard also features fruit trees, garden beds, a shed & access to a bridle trail behind the property. The yard is fabulous as it is, but for those that would prefer to have a pool, sports court or whatever else you have in mind, the possibilites are endless. The home is also conveniently located just a short distance from the Promenade, Peninsula Center & the other local restaurants, shopping and theatres. This is a great opportunity to get into a fabulous property in a super desirable location at an entry level price. Don't miss it!
