About this home

Completely Renovated Single-Level Home in Crown Valley Highlands Welcome to 23231 Cheswald Dr, a beautifully reimagined single-story home nestled on a prime corner lot in the desirable Crown Valley Highlands community of Laguna Niguel. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home has undergone a comprehensive, high-end remodel that delivers the feel of new construction in an established neighborhood setting. Every major system has been upgraded—new drywall, insulation, plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel, recessed lighting, and nearly all-new wiring. The home also features a brand-new AC system, dual-pane windows, modern doors, EV charging capability, and an epoxy-coated garage floor. The open-concept kitchen has been completely redesigned with new cabinetry, appliances, and sleek ceramic tile flooring that continues into the living areas, while the bedrooms are finished with warm, wood-look vinyl plank flooring. The spacious primary suite opens to a private, fully tiled patio—your own serene retreat. Outside, you'll find a new concrete driveway and walkways, fresh landscaping, new lawn and irrigation, mature trees, and full fencing for privacy. A professionally designed Landscape Master Plan has already been approved by the HOA, and includes PDFs of detailed renderings, plant palettes, and descriptions of all major design elements—ready for seamless implementation. Ideally located, this home is just 10 minutes from Salt Creek Beach, with easy access to Laguna Beach, Dana Point Harbor, and world-class resorts including the Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, and Montage Laguna Beach. Enjoy the best of coastal living—from sand and surf to fine dining and resort-style entertainment—all within a short drive. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, clubhouse, pickleball and basketball courts, playgrounds, parks, and scenic trails. With low HOA fees, no Mello-Roos, and an unbeatable location, this turn-key home offers exceptional style, comfort, and coastal convenience.

Prime Coastal Location: Ideally located just 10 minutes from Salt Creek Beach, with easy access to Laguna Beach, Dana Point Harbor, and world-class resorts, offering exceptional coastal convenience.
Exceptional Community Amenities: Residents benefit from resort-style community amenities including a pool, clubhouse, pickleball and basketball courts, playgrounds, parks, and scenic trails.

Single-Level & Modern Features: A desirable single-level layout on a prime corner lot, complemented by modern features such as EV charging capability, an epoxy-coated garage floor, and new landscaping.

Cons

Multiple Price Reductions: The property has experienced several price reductions from its original list price of $1.585M to $1.45M, which may indicate initial overpricing or market resistance.
Age of Original Construction: Despite extensive renovations, the home's original construction year of 1969 means the underlying structure is over 50 years old, potentially raising concerns about long-term structural integrity or older building standards.
HOA Landscape Control: While a Landscape Master Plan is approved, future exterior modifications or personal landscaping choices will require HOA approval, potentially limiting homeowner autonomy.
