About this home

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Shadow Hills, this fully refreshed 3-bed, 2-bath retreat sits on a private acre with sweeping valley views and a citrus grove of grapefruit, orange, and lemon trees. Inside you’ll find 2,198 sq ft of fresh new updates: new paint, flooring, baths, Samsung Bespoke appliances, and a statement kitchen island creates a move-in-ready backdrop for entertaining. The spacious living and dining rooms, anchored by a fireplace, flow to an expansive patio, pool, and spa with new equipment and a gas heater. The primary suite offers pool and mountain views, an en-suite bath, and a brand-new dressing room. Owned solar, a laundry room with half bath, a 2-car garage, RV parking, and a versatile outbuilding for a workshop or storage round out the package. All of it sits minutes from shopping and the freeway, in the peaceful hills of Mt. Helix.
