Everything in this California contemporary style home is unique, from the grand 22' tall living room to the 10-foot ceilings on both the main and second floor, to the open sightlines and so much more!

This home features multiple "flex use" spaces such as a craft room, workout area, kids' movie room/playroom, storage, and numerous office/study spaces that offer varying levels of privacy (all wired for high-speed ethernet). The centerpiece of the basement is a professional Home Theater with an overhead projector complete with booming 7.1 surround sound. The large windows fill the home with natural light and allow for excellent visibility of this nearly 1/2 acre corner lot in Countryview Estates which has direct access to a private park. The backyard is framed by a 6' tall semi-private fence which encloses a pea gravel play area, a dog run, and a massive brick paver back porch for entertaining. There are 3 entry gates to the backyard. Outdoor amenities include new windows, attic fan, attic storage, an underground sprinkler system, newly replaced AC units, and a new water heater.
