It will be a welcome homecoming everyday arriving at this updated two-story North Ranch townhome in this Westlake Village enclave, surrounded by rolling hills of protected open space. The shortlist of benefits include close proximity to the North Ranch playfields, the prestigious North Ranch Country Club and Golf Course, breathtaking hiking trails and award-winning schools. The light and airy residence features an open floorplan for effortless entertaining throughout the stylish rustic modern interior and into the intimate Zen-like backyard.
Grassy areas with manicured landscaping and trees surround the traditionally styled architecture of this townhouse with a grey and white exterior. A pathway from the front yard enters through a front gate leading to a private courtyard with flagstones and low and high flowerbeds off to the sides of the main walkway. The entrance just outside the front door is covered, providing protection from the elements. The spacious living room with high ceiling greets friends and family upon entering the front door, with the fireplace providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The living room features a cozy fireplace with granite hearth and plenty of space for entertaining family and friends. Light wood floors cover the entire downstairs living areas ensuring continuity and a handcrafted look, while white paneled doors are featured throughout the home. Soaring ceilings and high windows in the living room create the effect of an even more spacious room, as well as let plenty of natural light into the space. French doors exit onto the backyard patio from the living room letting for easy entertaining of either larger groups or more intimate gatherings.
The modern farmhouse style of the intimate kitchen boasts a light, clean look due to the white paneled cabinetry, bright recessed lighting, and light grey subway tile backsplash. The chef of the house will enjoy the stainless appliances and a OneTouch kitchen faucet with an undermount sink and white solid surface counters. Details matter when it comes to the oil rubbed bronze drawer pulls matching the faucet. The intimate breakfast nook faces shuttered windows, while the dining and breakfast areas feature distressed rustic white metal chandeliers. The open floorplan is ideal for seamless entertaining, as the kitchen, nook, living and dining areas have no walls separating them.
The master bedroom features a soaring ceiling and the same wood flooring as the downstairs. An entire wall encompasses the shared closet space for the room's residents. The tropical bamboo window coverings add texture and color to the space. The ensuite bathroom features elegant light-colored marble walls and floors surrounding the tub and a separate walk-in frameless glass enclosed shower. The room also features a freestanding white wood modern farmhouse-style vanity with dual undermount sinks, a grey solid surface top, brushed nickel fixtures, and a framed white wood mirror to match the white vanity. Recessed lighting throughout the suite creates a light atmosphere.

The secondary bathroom features elegant light marble with a ribbon of a contrasting tile accent around the walls and floors surrounding the tub and separate walk-in frameless glass enclosed shower.
