About This Home

As of May 2023

This Entertainer's Dream Home is a must-see for anyone looking for luxury living in La Habra Heights. Situated on a private, gated estate with over 2 acres of land, this home offers resort-style amenities and a breathtaking panoramic city view.

As you enter the property through the private gate, you will be greeted by a huge 4-car garage and elegant wrought iron double doors. The interior of the home features luxury stone floors, a wrought iron staircase, and a formal dining area with an unbelievable view all the way to Catalina.
The kitchen is a chef's dream, with both gas and electric stove tops, four ovens, and an adjacent outdoor covered terrace with motorized shades. For convenience, there are two bathrooms on the main floor, as well as an office that could potentially be converted into a guest room. The five bedrooms include a grand master suite with high ceilings, granite countertops, and tile floors, as well as a shower booth and a great size built-in cabinet with a walk-in closet.

But the entertainment doesn't stop there. The basement, which is permitted for 1,092 square feet, offers endless possibilities with its massive bonus room, bar, and two additional bathrooms. There is even living quarters complete with access to a private courtyard, which is also accessible to the rock-scape pool with waterfalls and spas. The backyard also features a great size outdoor kitchen, attractive stacked-stone hardscaping, curving paths, and an entertainer's gazebo.

One of the most impressive features of this property is the enormous private orchard with various fruit trees, making this estate truly one of a kind. The attention to detail and the combination of luxury and practicality make this home a true gem in La Habra Heights.
