Million-dollar Home is the Picture of Elegance
SPACIOUS: Located in a premiere neighborhood, this stunning Valencia home is a gem of a listing at $1,195,000 for 5 beautiful bedrooms, 4.5 baths, bonus room, expansive backyard, pool/spa and ... the views! With so much openness and room to spare, this home is waiting to become your personal sanctuary.
SOPHISTICATED: Refinery starts on the doorstep with a double-door entry sparkling with leaded glass that opens up to wood flooring glowing with rich color and texture. Venture into the formal living with vaulted ceilings, more leaded glass windows, a reclaimed brick fireplace, custom mantle and built-in bookshelves. Talk about a home library dream come true! But the real party is held in the formal dining room - where French doors, leaded windows and plantation shutters make dinner parties look like catalog shoots. Even the tucked-away downstairs bathroom has stunning touches such as French doors, a built-in study area and cabinetry.
SUMPTUOUS: All gatherings eventually lead to the kitchen, and this chef's dream delivers in style. Granite countertops, fine cabinetry, a cooking island, breakfast nook, butler's pantry, garden view from the sink and recessed lighting all set the tone for joyous and functional cooking. The kitchen also opens up to a family room with a granite-top wet bar, coffered ceiling touches and custom cabinetry - perfect for retiring with a nightcap.
SERENE: In the SCV, outdoor living is just as important as the indoors - and this entertainer's yard has it all! The sparkling pool features a flowing rock waterfall and spa, while the outdoor cooking area has a fire pit and barbecue. But the real highlight has to be the gazebo where you can stop and take in those truly incredible views!

Financial Independence is within your Reach
Don't want to sell right now - but ready to move?
Many SCV residents have turned to property leasing as a means of growing their income and their investment portfolio. But right now - with restrictions on evictions - some may be hesitant to enter into this potentially-lucrative field. While no investment is entirely without risk, you can absolutely manage and reduce the possibility of a loss by working with an experienced property manager. Professional property managers will conduct extensive background checks on potential renters, including financial, criminal and housing. They'll help select renters who will be quality caregivers for the physical property as well as individuals who are most likely to be able to pay rent on time for the long haul. It's a practice that takes experience and resources to do right - but the extra effort is worth it in stress relief and profit.
