Perched within the scenic foothills of Mount Helix, this beautifully updated single-level residence offers over half an acre of usable land (0.61 acres), blending modern comfort with a peaceful and private setting.  A long, private driveway sets the tone as you arrive to a light-filled interior where exposed beam ceilings, an inviting arched fireplace, and a classic tiled hearth create a warm yet refined atmosphere. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept layout is enhanced by stylish laminate and luxury vinyl plank flooring, seamlessly connecting the living spaces to the refreshed kitchen. Beyond the interiors, newly installed patios and expansive outdoor spaces invite you to relax beneath the stars, while the separate family room opens to an extended deck showcasing peaceful treetop and distant hillside views. The serene primary suite offers private balcony access and a spacious ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub, oversized vanity, and abundant cabinetry, while additional generously sized bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or home office needs. Outside, the grounds unfold into a private retreat thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape with winding pathways, raised garden beds, and a variety of fruit trees including avocado, plum, peach, apricot, and citrus. The expansive usable lot offers endless possibilities with room for a pool, ADU or guest house, gardens, recreational space, and gated RV or outdoor vehicle parking. Additional improvements include solar, wiring for an EV charger, newer A/C and ducting, updated plumbing, fresh interior and exterior paint, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, new gutters, updated electrical outlets, and a professionally coated garage floor. Ideally located just minutes from premier shopping, dining, theaters, top-rated schools, and scenic hiking trails, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and future potential. A truly special opportunity in one of the most sought-after settings.
