About This Home

As of December 2017

Private, stately and impeccably styled, this luxurious residence in Ladera Ranch’s award-winning Clifton Heights enclave offers elegance at every turn. Located behind private gates at the end of a cul-de-sac, the impressive residence is recently upgraded with today’s preferred appointments. New lighting, wood flooring, plantation shutters and crown molding enhance the open floorplan, which spans approx. 3,986 s.f. and is home to 4 ensuite bedrooms—including one on the main floor, 4.5 baths, a versatile bonus room, formal living room with fireplace and a formal dining room. A great room with fireplace, built-in entertainment center and surround sound joins a spectacular kitchen to create a grand casual area. The kitchen is highlighted by Viking and Bosch stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry, nook, large island with seating, granite countertops and a new subway tile backsplash. Volume ceilings, large windows and archways lend custom flair to the residence. Start and end the day stylishly in an opulent master suite with sitting area, covered terrace overlooking the backyard, tray ceiling, walk-in closet and a distinctive bath with soaking tub and a separate shower with two heads. At 9,632 square feet, the desirable homesite allows ample room for guest parking in the front, and a private rear yard with saltwater Pebble Tec pool and spa with solar heat, a loggia, fire pit and a spacious covered patio with built-in BBQ bar.
