Come join the renewed sense of community in the Palisades Highlands. People are coming back and life seems almost normal here. This is a very warm home with many upgrades and generous use of wood and natural stone surfaces. The lower level has beautiful wide-plank oak floors throughout. The living room has a tongue and groove, beamed and vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is upgraded with a live-edge granite counter top, quality stainless steel appliances, induction cooktop and lots of counter and cabinet storage space. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are all upstairs. The Primary bedroom has vaulted, tongue and groove ceiling, a unique pot belly stove gas space heater to cozy up to on those chilly winter nights. The Primary bath has a combo steam unit/bathtub/shower room that is very spa-like. The back yard has recently been completely redone with a privacy hedge and new large, low-maintenance synthetic lawn. Situated on a very quiet street, the views of the Santa Ynez Mountain Ridge brings in a peaceful nature vibe and sense of tranquility that sweeps you away from today's hustle bustle, hectic world. A fantastic amenity, the Santa Ynez Recreation Center, complete with 25 yard lap pool, kiddy pool, spa, children's playground, tennis and pickle ball courts, gym, ping-pong and billiards, is right around the corner. It is also very close to the endless network of hiking and biking trails of the Santa Monica Mountain Range, with several trailheads within a couple of minutes. Nearby local restaurants are also close and the new Caruso Center in the Palisades village is just a few minutes away. A great home in a great location that offers a great lifestyle.
