A study in contemporary design, this nearly new Marabelle floor plan in Arcadia pairs designer-selected upgrades with an unusually private setting in Brentwood.

Inside, spacious living areas and a seamless flow support both everyday routines and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a top-of-the-line upgraded appliance package and premium finishes, with careful attention to detail throughout. Practical luxuries include a 3-car garage with upgraded 8-foot doors, EV charging prewire, and a wider extended driveway, plus a dedicated media room with a mounted projector screen and surround sound. Community sidewalks and scenic walking trails round out the experience.

The designer kitchen features custom cabinetry, Calacatta Gold-inspired countertops, champagne bronze fixtures, and layered lighting, flowing into dining and living spaces with built-ins and a sleek fireplace wall. A serene primary suite is complemented by a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, 5×7 shower, and 9-foot double vanity for an unhurried daily routine.
