La Playa "The beach." This home offers a hint of timeless coastal Cape Cod style with gabled rooflines, shingle accents, and subtle arches, blended with a touch of California transitional design. A curved driveway, three-car garage, and mature landscaping frame this custom home set on a 10,000+ sq ft lot in premiere Lake Alhambra Estates. Floor-to-ceiling windows create a dramatic two-story entry with 19-foot ceilings and fill the home with natural light. Don Fouts' signature millwork is evident throughout, including an elegant staircase banister, wainscoting in the formal space, raised panel doors, and wood-trimmed windows with transom lights. The formal dining room is illuminated by a custom Italian chandelier, while new flooring softens the space and adds a feeling of comfort and ease. From the moment you walk in, this home captivates. The kitchen opens to the main common areas and is highlighted by a backdrop of curved windows, creating an inviting space for gathering and everyday living. The family room is spacious yet cozy with a corner-set bookcase and the fireplace/mantel as a focal point. The kitchen includes Bosch appliances, LG refrigerator, beverage refrigerator, and pantry. Three sets of eight-foot Andersen French doors provide access to the covered patio and private backyard from multiple areas. Enjoy the newly resurfaced pool (2025) year-round thanks to solar heating. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with mature trees including weeping birch, sycamore, and redwood, along with a rock sitting wall, grapefruit tree, strawberry patch, and grapevines. The primary suite is located on the main level and offers privacy - - or views of the pool and garden if preferred. The ensuite bath was recently re-designed with Carrara tile, an oversized soaking tub, separate shower, and a large closet with a window. A remote ground floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The second story includes two bedrooms, a dedicated office (or optional fifth bedroom), full bath, and a large multi-use room. Additional features include a fireplace in the family room, energy-efficient lighting throughout, generous attic storage, and updated dual HVAC systems. This home has been meticulously maintained. Ideally located on a quiet street near bike paths and greenbelts, with close proximity to La Playa Park, Mace Ranch Regional Park, Korematsu Elementary, Harper Jr. High, and shopping.
