Tucked against peaceful hills, this artistic charmer offers modern comfort and flexible living. Located in the historic Val Verde community, just minutes from the freeway for easy commuting to the city. This home features a fully renovated kitchen, new flooring throughout, a new solar ready electrical panel, and an EV charger. The garage has been converted into a separate living space, with an additional bathroom and kitchenette, with its own private entrance. It's the perfect addition for guests, extended family, or a quiet office retreat. Step outside to hillside views, a shady patio for dining, a fire pit for evening gatherings, and your own mini orchard with orange, lemon, key lime, apricot, plum, grapefruit, and pomegranate trees. Behind the fenced backyard is a hidden garden space ready for your vegetable patch or extended backyard. This serene retreat offers the perfect blend of a quiet country feel and everyday convenience. No HOA or Mello-Roos! Some photos are virtually staged.
