French doors in the sunken dining area open to a sprawling brick patio, perfect for alfresco gatherings under the stars. The brand-new chef's kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring a Wolf 36" stainless steel range and hood, Thermador French-door refrigerator, Thermador dishwasher, and custom wood cabinetry with three full pantry units.

The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a serene corner window arrangement. French doors lead to a secluded brick patio, your own private escape for morning coffee. The ensuite bath is a spa-like haven, with a double-sink marble vanity, a deep soaking tub, and an expansive glass-enclosed shower with dual shower heads. The second ensuite bedroom boasts garden views and generous closet space, while the versatile third ensuite bedroom with its beamed ceiling, cozy reading nook, and dual-exposure windows is ideal as a guest suite or home office. Beyond the interiors, the home continues to impress.

A separate 100-square-foot finished storage room adds valuable flexibility. The fully fenced and gated backyard is a private oasis, featuring a brick patio framed by lush landscaping and multiple lounging areas. No detail was overlooked in the home's comprehensive renovation: all-new copper plumbing, a top-of-the-line HVAC system, Cat 6 cable wiring, a Wi-Fi-enabled security system, and all-new recessed lighting, sconces, and designer fixtures throughout. In a neighborhood renowned for its architectural gems and multimillion-dollar estates, 5657 Valley Oak offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey mid-century masterpiece at an unparalleled value.
