Houses have become more than just homes. They are sanctuaries of serenity, places of productivity, and retreats from reality. This custom built Los Cerritos gem flows with spaces that range from vaulted openness to warm, close comfort - spaces that have the flexibility and utility for modern lifestyles, while sparing nothing by way of leisure, privacy and relaxation. A dramatic entryway showcases the post-&-beam architecture of the home. Entering leads into an open-beamed living space illuminated naturally from skylights above and from an adjacent atrium, in which a unique meditation garden and koi pond reside. The semi-open concept continues into the chef's kitchen, equipped with high-end stainless appliances, copious custom cabinetry, and sprawling granite counter space. Beyond, the family room feels the right space to host a spectrum of gatherings, large or intimate in nature. In the rear yard, the salt water pool and spa play centerpiece to the entertaining patio, all of which is surrounded in privacy and security by tall walls and mature foliage. Located within a coveted neighborhood, a short walk to Los Cerritos park, and close to all that the greater Bixby Knolls area provides, this stunning home is a refuge where time can be enjoyed, wings can be spread, and life can be comfortably lived.
