Nestled in the highly sought-after College Estates neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers a warm blend of comfort, function and style. An open-concept floor plan creates a natural flow between the living spaces, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.  The formal living room and separate family room each feature their own fireplace, creating cozy gathering spots throughout the home. In the family room, built-ins frame the fireplace, a bar area adds a touch of charm and a gathering place when entertaining.  Sliding doors in both rooms open to the backyard for easy indoor-outdoor living.  The renovated kitchen is both stylish and practical, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances that include a dual fuel gas stove with electric oven, and a breakfast bar for casual dining. An inside laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen.  The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a remodeled en-suite bath featuring a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies.  Hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by recessed lighting, central air and heat, and a tankless water heater for modern comfort.  Step outside to a recently refreshed backyard designed for year-round enjoyment. A covered patio offers shade for al fresco dining, while a fire pit sets the scene for evening gatherings under the stars.  This is a rare opportunity to own in one of the area's most desirable communities - where thoughtful updates and timeless charm come together beautifully.  Close proximity to the beach, El Dorado Park, golf course, freeway access, shopping, schools and restaurants.
