Indoor and outdoor living merge seamlessly, embodying the relaxed sophistication of Southern California living, plus a pool/cabana room that could be a potential bed and bath. The family/media room features built-ins that reflect the home's architectural integrity, while the downstairs bedroom with ensuite bath provides ideal privacy for guests or multigenerational living.
