Located in the cherished Valmonte neighborhood, this home is set high above the street and features fresh landscaping and large picture windows in the living room and bedrooms, allowing for both privacy and tree-top views. The newly painted interior and wood floors in the living areas gleam in the natural sunlight. Two stone fireplaces sit back to back to provide a cozy ambiance for both the living and family rooms. The sharp kitchen opens to a lovely dining room and has direct access through a slider to the large, multi-level backyard that backs up to a wood chip trail offering the owners private access to an in-the-know nature path. Surrounded by fruit trees and rare succulents, the brick patio off of the kitchen is a wonderful place for entertaining and cooking outdoors. The large master suite is a private sanctuary and features an en-suite bathroom and vanity table that is a great escape after a long day. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a full bathroom and round out the upper level. On the lower level is a room with a dedicated bathroom which could be great for an office, home gym, or guest suite. An additional bonus is a two-car garage with easy access. This gem is in a fabulous location where you can explore the neighborhood trails, catch the sunsets over the treetops, and is also close to the shops and restaurants in Riviera Village and charming Malaga Cove.
