This Brea Gallery Collection home is inviting, relaxing and an entertainer’s dream. Entering through the glass double front doors you are greeted with a beautiful crafted iron and wood staircase, vaulted ceilings, and lots of natural lighting. The windows are dressed with beautiful white wood shutters throughout. The entrance steps down to the spacious Living Room leading to a separate dining area with French doors offering a view of the back yard living area. The kitchen is a place for family and friends to gather around the generous size granite island with built-in stove top, two pull out refrigerator drawers and loads of storage space. The kitchen flows into the family room with fireplace featuring a desk work area in the perfect corner spot. Full view windows and French doors with opening sidelights highlight the beautiful backyard with breathtaking unobstructed views of Orange County. The backyard sits high above the grass fields of the Falcon Academy of Science & Technology elementary school. The single downstairs bedroom is spacious, private and sits next to the guest bathroom. Upstairs you find an oversized hallway with two more spacious bedrooms and an updated full bathroom with double sinks and tub/shower. Towards the rear of the home is the Master Bedroom with fireplace and slider exiting out to a balcony with incredible views. The Master Bath with soaking tub and beautiful wood vanity with double sinks has been done beautifully with various textures of grey tile and marble, with adjacent his and her closets. The great room is set up for many activities from playing pool, movie watching and for those work hours the two custom built-in workstations with bookshelves, file cabinets and plenty of storage. The Laundry room is in a perfect location which offers direct access to the finished and painted 3-car garage, with storage cabinets and a recently upgraded Epoxy Coated Floor. The Backyard offers a beautiful and inviting outdoor living space featuring a large natural wood Patio cover with custom lighting, two ceiling Fans, hanging lantern light, and a custom stacked stone BBQ, ice cooler and storage. A separate Fire Pit area is surrounded by seating with the entire backyard area highlighted by hanging bistro string lights.
