About This Home

As of February 2025

View! View! Panoramic views offer dazzling city lights and San Gabriel mountains. It is located in a prestigious Country Hills East neighborhood that borders Fullerton, a premium location with no homes on opposite sides of the street. This open and comfortable, desirable single-floor plan has excellent curb appeal. This exquisitely remodeled single-story (no step-down floor ) family home boasts spacious three bedrooms and two bathrooms, an elegant living room and family room with a high ceiling and a bright and airy family kitchen with an island with breakfast bar that opens to a family room with a fireplace. Recessed lights and crown moldings. Replaced double-pane windows and patio door: laminated wood floor and top-class carpets in the bedrooms. Low-maintenance landscaped backyard. Three-car attached garage with direct access and full-size driveway.
This view will never cease to amaze me. Residents can relax by hiking, biking, or horseback riding on many trails. One trail leads to the beautifully maintained, fishing-friendly Laguna Lake. Don't miss this great opportunity!
