About This Home
As of August 2025Rarely does a home come along that checks every box—a highly upgraded, sprawling 2,061 square foot ranch-style single story with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths on a prime 8,103 square foot interior corner lot with double RV gates, keypad entry for direct access garage in one of Fountain Valley’s most sought-after neighborhoods! This impeccably maintained, upgraded, expanded Stratford boasts central A/C, dual pane French-style windows, beautiful engineered wood flooring, recessed lighting, raised panel interior doors, ceiling fans in nearly every room, chair railing, custom casements, mirrored closets, upgraded bathrooms, and a gorgeous, completely remodeled chef's dream kitchen. From its charming curb appeal with pristine landscaping, and brick siding and front porch to its open concept sun-drenched floorplan, this home is a true standout. From the lovely entry foyer a pocket door opens to your dream kitchen with coffered ceiling, granite countertops and custom white shaker soft-close cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, glass display panels, pull-outs, hidden trash, and specialty compartments. It includes a gas cooktop, newer "smart" oven with convection & air-fry features, dishwasher, microwave, and wine cooler, plus a wide peninsula with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen is open to the spacious dining room with garden window and the living room with a gas-log brick fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is a very spacious family room with sliders leading to the tranquil backyard oasis with built-in Granite barbecue center (fridge & Turbo BBQ), bar seating, a raised deck with in-ground bubbling spa, wrap-around lush velvet lawn, and raised planters with manicured gardens - a perfect place for that California outdoor lifestyle for entertaining and relaxing. The oversized primary suite with room for retreat has a brick accent wall, huge mirrored closet, French sliders that open to backyard, and an en-suite bathroom with newer vanity with granite counter and walk-in shower with tiled walls. There are 4 additional bedrooms and an upgraded hall bath with granite countertop, tile flooring, upgraded fixtures, and a tub/shower combo with glass enclosure & tile surround. This superb home is steps to neighborhood park, close to Mile Square park/golf/lake/sports center, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and just minutes to the beach—this is the rare single-story opportunity buyers have been waiting for!
