Built from the studs in 2023, this NEW BUILD Mid-Century marvel with panoramic city lights views (and on-point metal roof) will immediately cause you to slow down and enjoy your new life in this terrific setting. Gorgeous open kitchen with Dekton countertops and white shaker cabinets looks out onto the inviting saltwater pool with unobstructed views that take in much of downtown LA all the way south to OC from your sheltered abode. Beautifully-finished primary bedroom and bathroom create a relaxing retreat, and the second bedroom has an en-suite bathroom as well. The home was originally a 3-bedroom, and can be converted back. The rest of the backyard is flat and grassy and even has a koi pond and built-out he/she-shed. Rockinghorse Road is a top-notch neighborhood and a delight to come home to at the end of a long day, and revel in the quiet.
