About This Home

As of March 2024

This rare and highly sought-after single-story residence is a host’s dream and is located on a beautiful and quiet cul-de-sac nestled into a private backyard. As you step through the front entry, you are greeted by spacious vaulted ceilings to the living area complete with a custom-built media center surrounding a wood/natural gas burning fireplace.

The heart of this home, the kitchen, has been remodeled to every cook's delight with quartz countertops, a large island with extra storage below, a built-in pantry, a six-burner natural gas oven, and a built-in microwave oven. Additional features include a convenient kitchenette area with bonus seating.

This remarkable residence boasts not one, but two master suites, each with its own attached bathroom. The main master bedroom has a natural gas fireplace and spa-like ensuite bathroom complete with a large walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, and spacious stand-up shower. The second master bedroom offers vaulted ceilings, ample closet space, and a private bathroom with a stand-up shower and large seated vanity.

This home has so many upgrades including LED recessed lighting throughout all rooms in the home. Porcelain tile flooring throughout along with new carpet in the master bedroom. Dual pane windows throughout create quiet and energy efficiency year-round. For extra storage, there are three attic areas with hideaway pull-down ladders for easy access. A new whole house Water Softening System adds convenience and comfort.

Step outside to an inviting relaxing and private backyard. This newly renovated yard boasts patio pavers, planters with hardscape, and a covered outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in barbecue, refrigerator, and an inviting eat-in bar area. A gas hook-up is already installed for a fire pit. Perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the idyllic Southern California weather.

Conveniently located within walking distance of Lake Forest Elementary School and Pittsford Park.
