This is one of my listings and if I say so myself, this home is absolutely gorgeous.  It’s a sprawling, one level 4 bedrooms and 3 baths on a large lot with a sparkling pool.  You can see more photos here.

My favorite room is the kitchen – truly any cook’s dream.  Subzero extra wide refrigerator is amazing.  The island offers a great place for conversations, homework and snacks.  The back yard is quite amazing as well.  The garden and the pool provide a peaceful environment and the ultimate in California living.
