LA SIERRA HILLS SOUTH – BELLA VISTA ESTATES
Perched on one of the most coveted and elevated lots in this exclusive, gated hillside community, this stunningly upgraded home is a true gem. Designed to offer the ease of single-level living, the home features 4 spacious bedrooms—three of which, including the luxurious primary suite, are conveniently located on the main level, each with its own en-suite bath. Upstairs, you'll find a private retreat with an additional bedroom, one and a half baths, and a generous bonus room.
Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously upgraded. From the professionally curated color palette to the wide-plank French Oak floors that run through the living areas, elegance and quality abound. The gourmet island kitchen, complete with a cozy breakfast nook and upgraded stainless-steel appliances, flows seamlessly into the expansive great room, where soaring two-story ceilings and a wall of windows flood the space with natural light. Perfect for hosting or relaxing, this space strikes the ideal balance between grandeur and warmth.
Step outside to one of the largest, most usable backyards in the community, where panoramic views of rolling hills, twinkling city lights, and majestic mountains create a breathtaking backdrop. The covered loggia, with its built-in fireplace, invites you to enjoy al fresco evenings year-round. A gated courtyard entry enhances the home’s Spanish-inspired charm, setting a welcoming tone the moment you arrive.
Additional highlights include a formal dining room, whole-house sound system (including the loggia), high-grade carpeting in the bedrooms, tile in the baths, and a spacious indoor laundry room. The oversized 4-car garage ensures ample storage and convenience.
This exceptional home is move-in ready and waiting to provide its next owner with a lifestyle of luxury, comfort, and serenity. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!
