The space
The primary entrance to the home opens to a large room consisting of a guest seating area, dining space and kitchen.
Down a charming Spanish tiled hallway is the master bedroom with a king bed and private bathroom and two smaller bedrooms that have a double bed and single/trundle bed combo adjacent to another bathroom.
Also on the main floor is a family room with a large couch that fits the whole family for TV or movie viewing but also doubles as an office with soundproof glass doors separating it from the rest of home.

On the surface we are the classic family of 4 living in suburban Los Angeles (LA). However before moving to the Los Angeles area we had lived in 6 different countries collectively over the last 20 years. Unbeknownst to us, much of the diversity of peoples, food, art and landscape that we have encountered in our travels around globe you will find here in southern California!
