With its custom Dutch entry door, old-fashioned front porch, fresh front yard landscaping, and an open and bright interior with a host of today’s preferred appointments, this turnkey home captures the heart and soul of Ladera Ranch living. Nestled on a cul-de-sac street near Founders Park and the Avendale Clubhouse, the warm and inviting two-story residence presents a free-flowing interior, with living and dining rooms looking out onto a private courtyard, and the fireplace-warmed family room featuring surround sound and a built-in desk. The family room opens directly to a newly upgraded kitchen that is distinguished by Calcutta Gold marble countertops, new white cabinetry, a full tile backsplash, large pantry, backyard access, a Miele drawer microwave, and a suite of top-tier Thermador appliances, including a built-in refrigerator, dishwasher and a 6-burner range with vent hood. Generously proportioned, the five-bedroom, three-bath floorplan extends approximately 2,800 square feet and includes one bedroom and a full bathroom on the main level, and a refined second-floor primary suite with a soaking tub, two sinks, white cabinetry, a sit-down vanity, separate shower and new floor. Desirable features include brand new LVP floor and baseboards throughout downstairs, just painted interior, newer wood-grain tile flooring in primary bathroom, newer tile in select second-floor areas, a Full PEX RePipe, recent exterior paint, built-in storage in garage, plantation shutters, new alarm system, and newer ceiling fans and lighting throughout. Large enough for a future pool, the backyard is ultra private backing to a landscaped slope and displays a lawn and patio. Enjoy a delightful setting on one of Ladera’s best streets that is a short stroll to swimming pools, the weekly Farmers Market, sport courts and fields, highly rated Elementary & Middle schools and enjoy Ladera Ranch’s full calendar of social events, including community Christmas festivities, Fourth of July fireworks, festival and parade, the Spring Festival and so much more.
