A rare opportunity to own a home with three-car garage and RV parking, ideally situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in a newer community assigned to top-rated University High School. This spectacular residence offers a bright and open floor plan highlighted by soaring two-story ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors fill the home with natural light and create an elegant sense of scale. The upgraded modern kitchen is designed for both functionality and style, opening seamlessly to the family room with a warm fireplace—perfect for everyday living and family gatherings. The main level features one bedroom and an upgraded full bathroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite overlooks the backyard and includes his-and-her walk-in closets, dual vanities, an upgraded walk-in shower, and a spa-like soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed third bathroom with dual vanities. The low-maintenance backyard offers a built-in BBQ area and no neighbor on the right side, providing enhanced privacy. During flower season, romantic purple trumpet vines bloom along the fence, creating a beautiful view from the kitchen, living room, and outdoor spaces. Residents enjoy access to community amenities including swimming pools, parks, and sports courts. The location is exceptional—minutes to award-winning middle and high schools, with easy bike access for kids, and conveniently close to freeways, beaches, shopping centers, and top public and private schools. Low HOA fee, low property tax. This is a rare combination of location, layout, and features—a must-see home.
