There is a warmth to this Los Cerritos home that photos can only hint at. This is a home that was cared for, not just maintained, and you sense the difference from the curb. The automated sprinkler system keeps the front yard effortlessly green, and low-voltage path lighting glows along the walkways after dark. A custom automatic gate with keypad entry secures the side driveway and the rear of the property. Inside, the sunken living room welcomes you with vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The kitchen is the heart of the home. A large quartzite island anchors the room, top-of-the-line appliances and a built-in wine fridge are close at hand, and a walk-in pantry keeps everything within reach. It opens straight into the den, where a dry bar and a hardwired surround-sound system make this the room guests never want to leave. Two primary suites give the home rare flexibility. Each has an en suite bath with double marble vanities and a large walk-in shower in frameless glass, and the larger adds a freestanding soaking tub with a custom niche. Downstairs, a third bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed makes an easy guest room or home office. A smart home system ties it all together. Fiber at 2.5 Gbps and hardwired Ethernet run throughout, and a wall-mounted iPad controls the lighting, climate, audio and video, and security cameras across the property. Out back, Sunbrella awnings shade the side and rear windows while string lights sparkle overhead, and a professional six-burner stainless steel BBQ with searing station is ready for dinners that stretch past sunset
