Mid-century architecture, panoramic sunset views, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living come together in this beautifully updated hillside retreat. Vaulted wood-plank ceilings, expansive windows fill the home with natural light while framing spectacular views. The spacious living room centers around a custom stone fireplace and opens to a Mangaris wood deck—perfect for sunset dinners, entertaining, or outdoor movie nights with the hidden pull-down projection screen. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, matte quartz countertops, premium KitchenAid appliances including a gas range, under-cabinet lighting, designer finishes, and thoughtful built-ins. The spacious primary suite offers direct deck access, a glass-enclosed shower, and wall-to-wall closets, while the bright bonus flex room with built-in storage is ideal as a home office, creative studio, homeschool room, fitness space, or guest retreat. Authentic mid-century character is complemented by modern updates, including European white oak engineered flooring, Milgard windows and doors, fresh interior paint, updated electrical, solar, a certified septic system, and extensive roof improvements, including replacement of the majority of the roof. Multiple outdoor living spaces invite relaxing and entertaining amid drought-tolerant landscaping, mature fruit trees, fragrant herbs, and peaceful hillside surroundings. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, yet just minutes from shopping, dining, local coffee shops, and everyday conveniences, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and modern comfort.
