About This Home

As of April 2021

Elegant, quality built custom home, nestled away in the Hills of La Habra Heights built by famous local builder, Pat Morgan. Individually designed, with an exceptionally high level of workmanship as well as high-grade materials, with interior improvements made by the current owners who have been the original and only occupants of this home. The park-like setting and semi-private street make you feel like you are away from the outside world, yet it is only a short drive down the hill. Over the quaint bridge, onto the circular stone driveway, this home brings old world charm with modern style and amenities to North Orange County Living. Stunning new travertine flooring shines to greet you as you enter the grand foyer of this home and carries you on to the formal living room, where friends can gather to gaze through a grand picture window and French doors to the expansive grounds and hills, while enjoying the warmth of the cozy fireplace. On the main floor, you will delight in the large den/office/extra bedroom with beautiful custom wood flooring, large private full bath and recessed lighting. The gourmet kitchen features a stainless steel 48” Wolf double oven gas range with 6 burners and griddle, Brazilian cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops, and a large center island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate dining area, which features a gorgeous, custom, temperature-controlled wine room with custom racking for over 1,600 750ml bottles, complete with a sink and storage.
