About this 4 bedroom 3 bath house

Experience sweeping Rancho Santa Fe and valley views from this private half-acre hilltop retreat in sought-after Olivenhain. Reimagined with a coastal-modern aesthetic, the home blends modern comfort with Southern California indoor-outdoor living. Vibrant sunrises, glowing sunsets, and sparkling evening lights create an ever-changing backdrop. Nearly 40 windows and skylights fill the interior with natural light. Step through the custom front door into the dramatic great room with hickory engineered hardwood floors, 20-foot ceilings, and an expansive 20-foot Marvin glass door that frames the view and opens the home for entertaining. The remodeled chef's kitchen features quartzite countertops, a center island, custom cabinetry, and an easy connection to the dining and living spaces. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexible options for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the romantic primary suite is a retreat with a fireplace, French doors opening to its own deck, and arched windows framing captivating Rancho Santa Fe and valley vistas. The updated bath features extensive use of marble, and a floor-to-ceiling seamless glass shower. A separate bedroom-office includes custom cabinetry, built-in storage, and a queen-size Murphy bed for working from home or welcoming guests. Curved staircases and an open mezzanine add architectural character. Outside, enjoy a resort-style pool and raised spa, outdoor kitchen with newer barbecue, refreshed landscaping, new shade sails, and spaces for dining and relaxing. A winding hillside trail leads to two peaceful view terraces beneath mature trees.
