A rare opportunity to own a piece of Fletcher Hills history, beautifully reimagined for its next chapter. Built in 1929 as the original model home of Fletcher Hills and part of the communitys first development, 700 Wakefield Court is a Spanish Colonial estate with the kind of character that cannot be recreated. Its architectural pedigree remains at the heart of the home, from the classic stucco exterior and red tile roof to original hardwood floors and a dramatic wood-beamed living room, while a thoughtful renovation has brought the property firmly into the present. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on an exceptional 25,700-square-foot lot, the home offers 2,131 square feet with four bedrooms and three baths, including an attached casita/ADU that adds valuable flexibility for guests, a private workspace, or additional living space. Fresh interior paint, stainless steel kitchen appliances, new landscaping, and carefully updated spaces create a move-in-ready home without losing the warmth and individuality of its 1920s origins. Generous windows and multiple connections to the outdoors take full advantage of the homes elevated setting, with a balcony that opens to sweeping views across the surrounding hills and valley. Outside, expansive grounds, mature surroundings, and the homes private pool setting offer room to entertain, retreat, garden, or simply enjoy a degree of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in Southern California. The setting is equally compelling.
