About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to the charming gated community of Placentia Lakes, known for its picturesque meandering streams and tranquil surroundings. This rarely available end-unit offers a unique combination of light, space, and convenience, making it a truly special find. Situated just steps from the community pool, spa, and sauna, this property promises a lifestyle of comfort and leisure.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the entire first floor, creating a modern and cohesive look. The dining room features a beautiful sunlit window, allowing natural light to flood the space and highlight the fresh new paint, newly scraped ceilings, and recessed lighting that grace the entire home.

The well-appointed kitchen is a true highlight, offering ample counter space, a walk-up pantry, a sunny garden window, and stylish black hardware on the cabinets, paired with a new black faucet. This kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, perfect for meal preparation and entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious dining room with its extra-large window is an ideal space to relax and dine. A few steps down, the expansive living room welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and a wet bar for added elegance. The living room also opens to a waterfront patio, perfect for enjoying peaceful outdoor moments.

Upstairs, the home features two generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The secondary bedroom boasts an extra-deep closet with mirrored sliding doors and its own private bathroom. The luxurious primary bedroom offers dual closets—one walk-in and one with mirrored sliding doors—plus an additional cabinet for linens. You’ll also find a private second-floor patio with serene views of the tree-lined sky, adding a touch of tranquility to your retreat.

This home also comes with a one-car garage, its own private laundry room, and convenient community parking, making everyday life a breeze.

Residents enjoy access to top-notch HOA amenities, including two community pools, spa, sauna, tennis courts, and a meeting room. Located in the heart of South Placentia, this home is within close proximity to excellent schools, making it the perfect place to call home.
