Traditional Adobe Hacienda style, Mid-Century home (4 Bedroom/3 Bath) near the Catalina mountains in a quiet, established neighborhood near Casa Adobes with a beautiful, serene retreat setting. The 1.5 acre property includes a newly constructed entry with stucco walls, brick-line granite-pebble driveway, new landscaping and lighting and a custom wooden front door. Beautiful, enclosed backyard with trees, planters, private heated pool, large outdoor gas fireplace and seating area, dining area under a pergola with outdoor gas grill and bar, bubbling fountain, chaise lounges with umbrellas, shade from large eucalyptus and olive trees, Catalina sunset views, stucco walls and new landscaping throughout.

This updated house includes two large living areas - both with wood burning fireplaces, comfortable seating and flat screen TVs. The living room includes comfortable seating, TV, wood burning fireplace, large wooden desk/workstation, and large sliding glass doors that open to the backyard and pool area. The newly updated family room has a Kiva-style fireplace, wooden beam and board ceiling, with large flat screen TV, and large windows that open to a private, walled courtyard with views of the Catalinas at sunrise and sunset.

The kitchen/dining area includes a large wooden dining table that extends to seat 8-10, and an adjacent kitchen with updated appliances and amenities. The dining area also has large sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor patio, with a large outdoor table (seats 6-8) topped by a pergola with string lighting at night.

Two larger, more private bedrooms are located at the rear of the house separated from the living areas. The first one is a medium sized guest bedroom with queen bed and adjoining full bathroom with updated shower and granite covered sink. The second bedroom is a large owners suite with a king bed, huge closet, flat screen TV which opens into a brand new private, spa bathroom with double shower, double soaking tub and (yes) double sink - all topped by marble with white subway tile on the walls and mosaic tile on the floor. This new spa bathroom (as of 5/30/25) will open into an outdoor spa area that is separate from, but adjoins the pool and will include an outdoor shower and seating area. There will be a hot tub in this spa area - that will be locked as it cannot be used by guests due to insurance restrictions (our apologies).

The remaining two bedrooms that are more centrally located include one bedroom with full bed and one with two twin beds - with a separate full bathroom (tub/shower combo) between the two bedrooms.

Other amenities include: laundry room with new purchased washer and dryer, high speed internet (via google mesh), Wi-Fi, basic Xfinity cable boxes and access to log into your favorite apps (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) on all three TVs, Google Speakers to play your music, and covered off street parking (carport holds 2-3 cars). Pool heater for additional charge.

While situated on a quiet street, the home offers easy access to hiking, shopping, golfing, entertainment and excellent dining...that is....if you ever leave the back yard :-).

Things to Know:
- No pets (even though we love ours)
- No smoking on the premises (unless you are making warm fires in the fireplace)
- No large parties and events (but family and friend dinners and gathering are fine)
- No overnight commercial vehicle parking (unless you planning to do work on the property for us)
- Lots of pool towels are in the laundry room along with laundry detergent (but leave the house supplies in the back of the laundry room undisturbed).
- Hall coat closet has hiking pools and a humidifier if desired.
- Dining/Kitchen Pantry has some food supplies in it that you are welcome to (but the top shelves look like an Irish tinkers wagon)
- Games and puzzles can be found in the left side of the bureau in the family room (with the kiva fireplace). There is also a puzzle table in the shed if you want to use it.
- No glassware near the pool (use the plastic wine and drink tumblers for your bevies)
- Good neighbor policy - quiet hours are between 11pm and 8am.
- Four outdoor your rental - you can tell as the green light on the camera will be off.
- While the pool has safety equipment, the pool can be accessed directly from the back doors of the house - so kid safety should be considered before renting this property.
- Carport has motion sensor lights to allow easier access to side door in the evening.
- Coded entry via lock on side-door of house. You will find traditional metal keys for the front door, spa bath back door and shed door inside the house.
- Pool floats, extra umbrellas, a shower chair and puzzle or cart table can be found in the shed...along with a light switch that turns on and off the pool light. Please turn this off during the day.
- A family of large owls will sometimes visit you in the evening hooting from the trees - possibly considering if your steak on the grill is worth the risk (kidding)
Enjoy!
