About This Home

The very private, secluded, ground level end unit also has an extra large wrap around covered patio offering lots of room to enjoy the outdoor space, including room to dine, garden or just relax and enjoy the views of the trees, lush landscaping and the equestrian/hiking trail that connects with Aliso Creek. There are also two large storage closets on the patio. Additional upgrades include newer HVAC system, stackable washer/dryer, and the entire complex was re-piped with PEX. Property has 1 covered assigned parking spot and lots of open parking throughout for guests. The beautiful Briosa Community is surrounded by trees and has a resort-style pool/jacuzzi, a park with a playground, a sports court, walking, horse and biking trail nearby. Located very close to shops and restaurants with easy access to the toll road. HOA fee includes water, sewer, and trash. FHA approved.
