Tucked conveniently behind a beautiful circular driveway amid a lush, well-tended landscape, this updated Mediterranean home was built for gracious entertaining! The grand formal foyer is so welcoming and leads to wide-open areas, perfect spots within which to host memorable gatherings, large or small. The large living and dining rooms are surrounded by French windows and are warmed by rich, wood floors. Two-story-height ceilings and views of the open loft above add a special airiness and an architecturally dramatic feel. The family room is large and comfortable and opens easily through French doors to the stunning backyard. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with high-end appliances and a center island, will please the avid chef and even has a spacious breakfast area and a terrific pantry. Off the kitchen is another bedroom, perfect as a gym or office. The primary suite is conveniently located downstairs and features higher, tray ceilings and a lovely marble bath. The closet space therein is quite plentiful. The primary suite also opens to the backyard. An elegant powder bath and direct access to the garage complete the first level. Upstairs find a loft-like open den with doors out to a balcony taking in pretty views of the backyard. There are also two nicely-sized upstairs bedrooms, each ensuite with its own bath. The backyard is peaceful, flat, private and very large with plenty of room for a pool if desired. The patio offers ample space for dining and lounging under the sun and stars and the wide grassy expanse is the perfect spot for kids to play upon. All this is very near to the many shops and eateries Brentwood is famous for. Kenter Elementary, Paul Revere Middle School and Palisades High.
