Set back off the street, behind a row of oversized privacy hedges, this ocean, coastline, and city lights view home is ideally situated a half block from the charming Malaga Cove Plaza and only a few short minutes from the beach. Meticulously manicured landscaping surrounds a brick path that leads to the front door. Inside is a gorgeous step-down living room complete with high ceilings, oversized windows, and a large fireplace, all flooded with an abundance of natural light. Entertain friends and family in the private dining room just off the kitchen. If you're looking to unwind, relax in the cozy den (potential for a 4th bedroom) that looks out to the back patio with bubbling fountain.  The family gourmet will enjoy the generous sized kitchen with plenty of counter space and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, you will find three generously sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy breathtaking Queen's Necklace views. The backyard has a large brick patio creating a peaceful setting for outdoor entertaining. Below the brick patio is a low-maintenance turf lawn that wraps around the large two-car garage. Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors and fresh interior paint throughout.  This elegant home awaits!
