About This Home
As of August 2025PRICE IMPROVEMENT! On this stunning Pool Home with Solar in Orangecrest! Welcome to this beautifully upgraded 5-bedroom pool home in the heart of highly desirable Orangecrest, offering the ultimate in Southern California living — where style meets comfort and everyday life flows effortlessly into resort-style relaxation. Step beyond the charming curb appeal and inviting front porch into a light-filled interior where soaring ceilings and Palladio French white oak flooring make a striking first impression. The freshly painted interior reflects pride of ownership, while elegant crown molding, tall baseboards, and custom door casings elevate every room with timeless sophistication. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a newer farmhouse sink, and a functional island that opens to the spacious family room — perfect for hosting gatherings or relaxing by the cozy brick fireplace. Downstairs also offers a versatile bedroom ideal for guests or a home office, along with a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, your private retreat awaits in the oversized primary suite, complete with tranquil views and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and two custom walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms, including a large bonus-style room, provide flexible space for family, work, or play. But it’s the backyard that truly steals the show — your own private resort with a sparkling pool and spa, surrounded by lush, mature landscaping and total privacy. Whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor space is pure magic. And there’s more – this home is equipped with solar panels, offering significant monthly savings on electricity bills while enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability for years to come. Walk to nearby parks, top-rated schools, and shopping, with easy access to the 215 and 91 freeways. Orangecrest homes like this don’t come around often — and this one is ready for its next chapter.
