About This Home

As of August 2019

Country Club Living at its best is what you’ll appreciate in this JM Peters-built home, situated on a very generous lot that affords full use of both the rear and side yards. The home’s curb appeal is enhanced by the brick-ribbon driveway with added apron, manicured lawn and beds, and an almost new concrete tile roof. The expanded kitchen and informal eating area features a large gourmet cooking island, custom cabinetry, double pantries, lots of granite counter space, recessed lighting, and a beautiful bay window with built-in seating. The original family room was enlarged by almost 300 sqft, providing a generous environment with a cozy fireplace, media and display niches, French doors, and two skylights, allowing the natural sunlight to bathe both of these rooms. The very private backyard takes advantage of the home’s unique lot configuration, with the beautiful pool and spa as the centerpiece and two generous side yards; one with lots of grass and the other as a sundeck. “The Fairways at Alta Vista” continues to be one of the most popular neighborhoods in Placentia; walking distance to award-winning PYLUSD schools and convenient to parks, shopping, and freeway access.
