Nestled in the exclusive community of Cowan Hills just one block from Peters Canyon Reservoir where Orange Park Acres meets Cowan Heights, you'll find this 1-story gem on a corner interior lot with over 10,000 sf of land. The wrap around yard is large enough for an RV on the side and pool & spa out back. As you approach, you'll find a custom paver walkway leading to a large covered front porch. The pavers have also been used to expand the driveway allowing for a 3rd car, RV or boat. From there, pavers continue along the side where they finally open up onto an expansive back patio running the length of the house. Inside you'll find updated wood, tile & carpet. HVAC system has UV light and Carrier electrostatic filter. Note the family room fireplace has been updated with drywall, mantel & decorative tile. The family room built-in "wood box" was removed (see floor plan) to make way for an expanded walk-in closet in the master bedroom. The master has a 2nd closet at the entrance to the reconfigured en-suite bath with dual vanities and enlarged walk-in shower. Original master tub was removed leaving enough room to include a door leading to the side yard. For a buyer needing a 4th bedroom now, the living room to the left as you enter appears large enough to reconfigure into a 4th bedroom while still having a full size dining room, kitchen, nook and family room that overlook the private back yard. Note the separate laundry room with cabinets, sink & newer washer & dryer (included). Laundry room leads to the garage with a wall of white cabinets, epoxy floor and pull down stairs to access the oversized storage area in the rafters covering hundreds of square feet over the garage and living area. Note the equestrian trails at the entrance as you return to the neighborhood from a stroll along Skylark Place at the reservoir or nearby hiking & cycling paths. With rolling hills and surrounding properties consisting of nearly 1/4 acre meticulously landscaped, you'll feel like you're in the country while still living in the heart of Orange County. Quick access to freeways, colleges, multiple parks, restaurants (Orange Hill & OC Mining Co. just down the street), shopping and so much more.
