AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER..... all of us have wondered, "why did the builder do that?" or "why didn't the builder do that?" With the upgrades and improvements that have been made, there is no need for second guessing any of that. Talk about "turnkey"! The tasteful front courtyard is just a hint. From removing the original wall between the kitchen and dining room creating that popular "Great Room Effect" by unifying the LR, DR, kitchen and nook, to raising the ceilings 2 feet in the kitchen, nook and primary bath, to adding a useful and functional kitchen island, to installing a barn style door to more easily access the increased walk in pantry, to the thoughtful addition of solar tubes to bring natural light into the two traditionally darkest upstairs rooms, there has been obvious attention to detail that anyone would be proud to claim as their own. Common features throughout the home include textured ceilings, expensive blinds, recessed can lighting, raised panel doors, Decor plugs/switches, door casings, oversized baseboards, crown molding, vinyl windows/sliding doors, engineered wood flooring, shaker style cabinetry with soft close features and drawers with dovetail joint construction. Be sure to notice the built-out closets. The kitchen is a thing of beauty and wonder. The barn style sink, the inlay tile design and the quartz counters might distract you from appreciating the extra storage provided by the larger cabinets. In order to fully appreciate the primary bath, you would need to see what it used to look like. The floor-to-ceiling tile walls and impressive glass shower appointments just may take your breath away. Perhaps the biggest and BEST FEATURE of the home is the PANORAMIC VIEW. From inside the home, you can see north to North Beach and south to East Beach and the Oak Preserve. From the balcony off the LR, you can see north from the natural serenity of Saddleback Mountain all the way south to Alicia. We have not even mentioned the private, sandy Mallorca beach with its bar-b-q's, picnic tables, cabana, restrooms and cordoned off swimming area. Nor have we described the 72 boat docks, 2 pools, 2 spas, the peace and quiet or the sense of security provided by a 24/7 manned gate. You are a member of LMVA (concerts, boating, swimming). Then there is that shopping option at MV Mall. Less than 30 minutes from several world destination beaches and between LA and SD, the opportunities are endless. You are investing in more than a home. It is a lifestyle.
