This gorgeous California Ranch-style home with a Spanish tile roof offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 2,768 sq ft of warm, welcoming living space on a sprawling 19,218 sq ft lot. Behind the gated front yard is a perfect grassy play area for kids and pets. Enter the home through the inviting front porch and delightful fishpond, and you're greeted by a dramatic great room with soaring cathedral ceilings and gleaming wood floors. The heart of the home is the open kitchen and family room, where a warm fireplace and floor-to-ceiling built-ins make every gathering special. You'll also love the abundance of storage throughout from closets to built-ins, keeping everything organized is a breeze. The spacious primary suite feels like a private sanctuary with its own fireplace, French doors leading to the pool and spa, walk-in closet, soaking tub, and oversized shower. The front guest bedroom enjoys its own ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms with ample closet space share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A bonus office nook near the kitchen is perfect for Zoom calls or creative projects. Step outside and discover a true entertainer's paradise: a wide open patio with built-in BBQ and fridge for dining under the stars, a sparkling pool for sunny days or nighttime swims, and a hillside path that leads to the ultimate highlight a huge, magical treehouse strung with twinkling lights. Big enough for sleepovers, playdates, or just soaking in the view, it's a one-of-a-kind space that kids (and kids-at-heart) will never forget. Behind the scenes, thoughtful upgrades keep the home cool and efficient year-round, including a whole-house fan, three attic fans (two solar-powered), double attic insulation, and energy-conscious design. The finished garage offers even more flexible space for a studio, office, or creative haven. This is more than just a home it's a property full of possibility, comfort, and magic, ready for you to enjoy as-is or take to the next level. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
