Property Description
15123 La Calma Drive is a classic California Ranch home set comfortably within peaceful, park-like grounds. This home has been lovingly maintained and upgraded over the past 30 years and though Friendly Hills is known for its spectacular properties you’ll find that this one stands out like a Calla Lily amongst the marsh. The home’s floor plan has a natural flow, often found in Ranch homes that has attracted Americans since the 1950’s. It has two large secondary bedrooms as well as two primary suites located at opposite ends of the home. The interior has been thoughtfully enhanced with unique natural stones and finishes that are both aesthetically pleasing and grounding at the same time. The dining room floor is fitted with piedra negra, a soft black stone with creamy lineal veining. It compliments the rust-colored brick fireplace while absorbing the bright natural light coming in through two sets of double french doors. In the kitchen you’ll find beautiful custom cabinets as well as custom wrought iron shelving and a Viking range, however the most notable feature is the stunning and rare Blue Bahia granite countertops. Azul Bahia, from Brazil, is one of the most stunning natural stones on earth with its deeply saturated royal and cobalt blues accented by a dynamic white and black crystalline pattern. I’m sorry to say, you won’t find beige colored vinyl plank or white quartz countertops here; only richly patterned natural materials and custom made cabinets and vanities. The best aspect of this home however is easily the grounds. In a neighborhood of dynamic topography this is a rare, predominantly flat lot which is ideal for entertaining. The current owners hosted five weddings over the years and countless parties! The back garden features multiple areas for entertaining, a large brick patio and fireplace adjacent the pool, a plethora of mature fruit trees as well as flowering plants and even a “Secret Garden.” All the best homes show better in person than they do online and this one is no exception. The flowing fountains, sparkling pool and manicured gardens will captivate you; at least they did for me. The fruit trees include avocado, guava, chirimoya, grapefruit, fig, navel orange, tangerine, apricot, pomegranate, lemon and cherry. Finally, this property is located a short distance to great hiking and running trails in the Hacienda Hills and local favorites like the Friendly Hills Country Club and highly rated schools.
