From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the charm, privacy, and rare natural beauty this home exudes. The lush backyard is truly magical—a peaceful pond fed by a year-round natural artesian spring is home to two majestic koi fish that are over 60 years old. Surrounded by mature fig and olive trees, palms, fragrant honeysuckle, and blooming calla lilies, the almost three-quarter-acre lot feels like your own private garden retreat. A sparkling pool and expansive decking invites you to relax or entertain, all powered efficiently by **paid solar**. Inside, the home has been thoughTully updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The **remodeled kitchen** opens to a separate dining room, perfect for gatherings. The **oversized primary suite** is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-like bath and a spacious walk-in closet. There’s both a spacious **family room with fireplace** and a separate **living room that overlooks the pool and deck**, giving you plenty of space to unwind. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, views of the pond and Mt. Helix, and a fully renovated bathroom, while a second full bathroom downstairs serves the main living areas. The attached finished two-car garage offers convenience, and as a special bonus, the home includes a **finished basement with 343 additional square feet** ideal for a workshop, home office, wine cellar, gym, or creative studio. This is more than a home—it’s a rare sanctuary filled with soul, nature, and refined living
