About This Home

As of June 2024

55+ Community! Spectacular, on-point, high quality remodel - 3BD/2BA "Hermosa/Mariposa" cottage located in a lovely bluff-top area of Laguna Woods with easy access to Gate 7 and 8. Single level condo with no steps located in a very private area with no walk-by traffic and a large greenbelt right outside. Prepare to be "wowed" from the moment you walk in and see the beautiful lighter-tone laminate flooring that runs throughout the home, dramatic lighting fixtures and the spectacular kitchen with huge skylight. The kitchen features custom white shaker cabinets with 2 lazy susans, large slide out spice/bottle rack, soft close door and drawers, stainless steel appliances including refrigerator with ice maker, quartz countertops, decorative tile backsplash and breakfast bar. The kitchen focal point is the skylight with wood trellis accents complemented by the reclaimed wood front on the breakfast bar for an on-point, yet timeless, look. Living room enjoys a great outlook to the tiled patio with lowered wall to enjoy the green scenery. Throughout this home, you'll enjoy crown molding, dual pane windows, central a/c, recessed lighting, paneled interior doors, mirrored closet doors, closet organizers and custom closet doors. Both bathrooms will rival any luxurious hotel bath with beautiful granite-topped vanities, contemporary tile backsplashes and flooring, brushed silver fixtures and an amazing spa-sower system in the master shower. Full-size washer/dryer.
