Designed by celebrated architect Cliff May, known as the father of the California Ranch House, this unique home will instantly WOW you with its Zen-like vibe that seamlessly flows inside and out! From the moment you set eyes on this single-story home, you’ll appreciate just how special it is. The curb appeal and front yard is crisp, clean and inviting, setting the stage for what’s to come. And when you open the front door? The floor to ceiling windows that wrap around this home immediately soothe and fill your senses by welcoming the outside in – a sight so sensational that it is sure to impress even the most discriminating buyer! Upon entry, you’ll find an abundance of natural light and exposed beams framing the open concept floorplan that boasts a chef’s kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, double ovens, dual sinks, granite countertops and ample storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find two hallways – one that leads to the primary suite that stays true to the understated yet elegant, modern design of the home and includes sliding doors that open to the private yard and separate detached office/studio which offers so many possibilities! The second hallway, continuing the same design and feel of this home, leads to the three additional bedrooms and the full shared bath. Relax and enjoy the substantial rear yard (a generous corner lot!) filled with mature fruit trees, lush landscaping, vegetable boxes, a dog run, a variety of areas for gathering, dining and entertaining and room for a pool, allowing you to fully embrace and enjoy the incredible outdoor lifestyle that Southern Californians adore! Add to this beautiful, chic tile floors, a spectacular powder room, an expansive mudroom with several storage closets and direct access to the attached, finished two-car garage with extra storage, owned solar panels, a tankless water heater, newer HVAC, previously approved plans for a 600 sq.ft. addition, RV parking, its location within the footprint of the highly sought after MATES elementary school and award-winning Conejo Valley Unified School District, and its proximity to trails, parks, shopping, dining and entertainment … this isn’t just a must-see – it’s a MUST HAVE!
