Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Welcome to this exceptional transitional Craftsman residence, meticulously rebuilt following the 2025 Eaton Fire with an emphasis on modern efficiency, safety, and refined living. The home is fully electric and energy-efficient, featuring owned solar panels with battery storage and separate HVAC systems for each level to ensure optimal comfort year-round. The interior offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept floor plan with recessed lighting, waterproof laminate flooring, and dual-glazed thermal windows throughout. The kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry, LG appliances, a double oven, a spacious island with bar seating, and a wet bar with a built-in beverage center. A large walk-in pantry provides abundant storage, while built-in surround sound enhances the kitchen, family room, and dining areas. The formal living room is distinguished by high ceilings, an electric fireplace, and custom built-in shelving and cabinetry. A solid wood staircase with wrought-iron detailing adds architectural elegance and leads to a gallery. Bathrooms are finished with scratch-resistant porcelain tile, bidet toilets, built-in handheld fixtures, and frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosures. One upstairs bathroom includes a bathtub well-suited for families, while the primary suite features a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and a rainfall shower with handheld. All bedrooms are pre-wired for televisions and include closets with built-in shelving. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets, one featuring a center island, 2 separate vanities in the master bath and balcony access. The detached garage is equipped with an electric vehicle charging port and is complemented by an adjacent ADU with separate power metering and its own laundry hookups, ideal for guests, rental income, or extended living. The front and rear grounds are professionally landscaped with drip irrigation, uplighting, and designated space for a garden. For enhanced security and peace of mind, the home is pre-wired for security cameras, includes a built-in alarm system, fire sprinklers, and fire-resistant siding. Block fencing borders the sides, and newly installed wrought-iron fencing with maturing ficus trees enhances privacy in the backyard. Situated in a neighborhood undergoing active revitalization, with many surrounding properties already under reconstruction, this home presents an opportunity to be part of a forward-progressing community.
