Updates, upgrades and views in the San Rafael Hills! Fully renovated inside and out, this sleek contemporary home on a large double lot enjoys privacy and lifestyle. Sited in a grove of California Live Oak trees, this home enjoys unparalleled private space and panoramic vistas of the San Gabriel Mountains to the north and east. Enter the property via a gently sloped driveway with ample parking including the attached two-car garage with direct access to the home's interior. From the entry staircase, take in views while approaching the double front door, which opens to reveal a space is defined by elegant restraint. Inside, light-toned floors and soaring vaulted ceilings complement oversized single pane picture windows that showcase the natural surroundings. The generous living room is comfortable and elevated, with a decorative fireplace flanked by twin sliding glass doors. This 230 outdoor extension balcony expands living and entertaining space, offering the peak Southern California lifestyle: take in the sunrise views while drinking coffee alfresco. Updated throughout in 2025, the home boasts a designer central dining room and kitchen, featuring an oversized breakfast bar island, high tech stainless steel appliances and seamless stone countertops and backsplash. Simplicity of finishes here yields a luxe, uncomplicated whole without unnecessary decoration: walls, ceilings and cabinetry are quiet, with clean edges and uninterrupted calm lines. On this main level of the home, find two bedrooms: one with mountain-facing windows, a walk-in closet, and an en suite 3/4 bath, the other enjoys hillside views of trails frequented by family of deer. A full bath completes this level. Downstairs, find a den/office space adjacent to the laundry area, an additional 3/4 bath, and a large third bedroom with generous walk in closet and direct access to the lower level covered patio space. There is natural light virtually everywhere here, but no view of neighbors -- this property embodies a rare combination of privacy, a sense of space and access to the conveniences and fun of the City, closer than they seem. With the Rose Bowl recreation complex and Linda Vista Avenue just down the street, Old Town and the Norton Simon Museum just 2 miles away, and proximity to multiple freeways to Downtown and the Studios to the west, this is a rare offering in an ideal location.
