Nestled quietly at the end of your own private road, well set back from Reynolds Road, this serene and peaceful sanctuary will feel like your exclusive ?Hollywood Hills? home. Sitting atop a one-acre block, it enjoys the natural tranquillity of its surroundings with breathtaking valley and wildlife views in the distance.

Enter via tall auto-wrought iron gates at the top of its driveway and find a circular driveway featuring a mature date palm for shade and impact. Your visitors will be enthralled as you lead them through the Spanish-style closed courtyard with a trickling wall fountain and hanging vines over the portico entrance. Double doors swing open to a hall complete with a walk-in cloakroom and served by a powder room. As you explore, take notice of the upgrades the current owners have made over the last few years. Beyond the hall, you will see the tops of swinging palms and a hint of the inground heated pool below.

Stop in the formal living room for a drink at the bar before wandering out to enjoy the view from the expansive terrace. Inside, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with built-in robes and high ceilings. The master bedroom boasts picturesque views of the tropical garden outside the window, along with quirky gold-plated taps, an original import. A fourth bedroom or office is located off the garage.

The living areas are both spacious and versatile, with multiple zones that accommodate different needs and preferences. A bar area is perfect for entertaining guests, while the upgraded kitchen is complete with modern amenities, including a walk-through pantry, dishwasher, and ample cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a formal dining room ideal for family gatherings and special occasions. A fitted office is tucked away off the kitchen living room with beautiful green views across the King Valley ranges?a most idyllic place to work! Outside, the double garage ensures ample parking space, and there's even a separate studio or office.

The full-size laundry offers ample storage space. For cozy evenings, a choice of two indoor fireplaces adds warmth and charm to the interior. Walk-in wardrobes offer ample storage for your belongings. The highlight of this true gem of a property is the resort-style pool and expansive terrace where you can cool off, relax, and enjoy the sunshine.
