The home features a smart thermostat, light switches in central living areas that are compatible with Google/Amazon systems, and new exterior landscape lighting in both the front and back yards, which includes remote/phone-controlled access and a timer system.

Be sure to check out the thoughtfully designed two-car garage, which features numerous built-ins, a custom workbench and countertop area, and a new cement floor that could be converted into a large ADU if the new owner wishes. A newly installed garage door has phone control and WiFi access for remote accessibility. Easy access to shops, restaurants, studios, hiking trails, freeways & the Westside. All rooms of the house have custom blackout window coverings for privacy and temperature control, along with a custom dog door for pet access.
