New in 2018 – and featured in Architectural Digest in 2021 – this stunning contemporary farmhouse epitomizes the Southern California, high-design, indoor-outdoor lifestyle. With privacy and security in mind, the entire property is set back behind gates and tall hedges. The magic unfolds as you make your way through the over-size custom front door into a light-infused entry with vaulted ceilings, pride-of-place staircase and wire-brushed, wood-plank flooring. There is a light-drenched living room, dining room and open plan family room on the right. To the left is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, glassed showcase area under stairs and an elegant powder room for guests, as well as direct entrance from the attached 2 car garage. Then comes the kitchen! An absolute stunner with custom tile and cabinetry, oversize stone island, bar seating, chef’s appliances, walk-in pantry, two sinks and views to the pool. The kitchen/ family room area opens to an outdoor living room w/ fireplace, then to the resort-like private backyard including a sapphire pool w/ baja shelf, spa & waterfall and built-in entertainment area w/ bar & custom fire feature, BBQ & refrigerator. Upstairs you will find the show-stopping primary suite with balcony, views, large walk-in closet and primary bath with separate make-up vanity, freestanding tub and oversize shower. The other three upstaris bedrooms come with en-suite bedrooms and custom cabinetry. To complete the upstairs, and make life easy, there is a proper laundry room just off the upstairs landing. Other details: a Control 4 Home automation system, gated & controlled access w/security, alarm & cameras, surround sound & outdoor lighting for an easy lock up and go. Halo water filtration system with at ALL water, inside and out, is filtered and good for drinking. A short drive to Westfield Fashion Square and all the dining and shopping on Ventura Blvd, as well as easy access to freeways. We love this property and imagine you will too.
