Welcome to 12361 Wembley Road in Rossmoor, California. Rarely does a single-story home in Rossmoor combine this level of space, versatility, and livability. With more than 3,000 square feet, five bedrooms, and five bathrooms, this beautifully updated residence offers an intuitive floor plan designed for the way people live today. At the heart of the home, an impressive center-island kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a natural gathering place for everything from homework and weeknight dinners to entertaining and holiday celebrations. Whether hosting friends, gathering for family dinners, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the open-concept design feels equally comfortable and inviting. Privately positioned near the front of the home, a separate bedroom with an adjacent bath offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. Down the hall, the bedroom wing features a spacious primary suite along with three additional bedrooms, including a secondary ensuite. A full bath serves the remaining bedrooms. An extensive redesign established the open floor plan that continues to define the home today.

A walk-in pantry, well-appointed laundry room, mud space, and conveniently located powder room just off the kitchen further enhance everyday convenience. The wraparound outdoor spaces provide easy-care settings for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying Southern California's year-round climate. Located within the highly sought-after Rossmoor community and the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District, the home enjoys convenient access to neighborhood parks, local shopping and dining, nearby beaches, and major commuter routes. Opportunities to own a single-story home with more than 3,000 square feet, five bedrooms, and five bathrooms in Rossmoor are limited. Beautifully updated and thoughtfully designed, 12361 Wembley Road offers an exceptional combination of space, flexibility, and single-story living.
