Behind the gates of a quiet community of only eight residences, this home stands on its own, with no shared walls and a stillness that is hard to find. Natural light fills every room, so on most days the lamps stay off. Deep espresso hardwood floors ground the main level, and a corner fireplace gives the sitting area a gathering point. The well-maintained kitchen, with granite counters and warm wood cabinetry, flows into the dining area and family room. From there, a glass sliding door opens to a low-maintenance backyard, where you can set an outdoor table, light the grill, or shape the space into a garden of your own. Upstairs are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a bright loft that adapts to how you live, whether as a home office, a media lounge, or a place for play. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a dual-sink vanity. With 2.5 baths and a brand-new HVAC system, the home is ready for you to settle in. A spacious two-car garage with direct access to the home makes everyday arrivals effortless, and interior guest parking means visitors are always accommodated. Life here is wonderfully well connected. The Shops at Santa Anita, 99 Ranch Market, and Vons are only minutes away, and the San Gabriel Valley's celebrated dining scene is at your doorstep. For fresh air and open space, Arcadia County Park and Arboretum are close, and the 210 Freeway makes commuting simple, all within the award-winning Arcadia Unified School District. Add to that an exceptionally low HOA, a true rarity, and the calm of a small gated community, and the picture is complete.
