From the Agent: "Surrounded by live oaks, up a canyon road, sits a modern country cabin freshly remodeled by Gibson House. This three-bed, two-bath home can be found on a cul-de-sac just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The breathtaking kitchen remodel features double-height ceilings with honed marble countertops, new cabinetry, appliances, and open-shelf storage inspired by European country living. Dine indoors or out just off the kitchen, covered by a pergola and surrounded by oaks and a melodic bird sanctuary. Native plants, including lavender, rosemary, agave, and sage hug a newly installed vintage fountain. The private, attached two-car garage is just off the tiled foyer for maximum security and functionality. At the back of the property, climb a staircase 75 feet above the home to the expansive observation deck overlooking all of the canyon. Come be a part of the Woodbury community and experience true pride of ownership. Views of your hillside out of nearly every window offer a sense of privacy and serenity."

The two-story home is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by lush greenery.
