If you’ve never heard of Moon Valley Lane, that’s probably by design: It’s a secluded, densely wooded private drive off of Salem Road in Mt. Washington. And this $1.3 million home sits at its terminus, right next to the California Nature Preserve. In short, it’s a classy, quiet spot located fewer than 10 miles from downtown (not to mention in close proximity to Mt. Washington Creamy Whip.)

The four-bedroom brick home on this four-acre property has all the amenities you could want, like four full and two half-bathrooms, plus a few you never knew you needed (check that view from the bathtub…). Look for walk-in closets, built-ins for books and wine (plus a wine cooler), wood- and gas-burning fireplaces throughout, and an enclosed patio that just won’t quit.

Outside is almost better than in, with a fire pit, built-in grill, hot tub, tiered deck, and garage space for eight (!) cars. In short, you could throw one heck of a party in this house. Or just hang out in one of your many tubs.
