470 W Vista Chino

Old Las Palmas rewards patience, and this is the house people have been waiting for. Behind the hedge and the original block wall, the lot opens into almost half an acre with mature olive and citrus that predate the current owners by decades.

The rear elevation is one long run of glass onto the pool, which faces west, which means the mountains turn pink in the water for about twenty minutes every evening and everyone stops talking.

Five bedrooms is genuinely rare at this end of the neighborhood. The primary wing sits on its own, and the two guest rooms at the far side share a courtyard that could take a casita if you wanted one.
