About this home

Location, Location, LOCATION! Don't miss this thoughtfully remodeled home located in Del Cerro, a hidden gem of a community that is nestled in the triangle of the 405, 55 and 73 freeways. The unique curb appeal immediately catches your eye and draws you to want to enter this special home. Upon entering the privacy gate, you are welcomed by a charming courtyard perfect for entertaining. This home was initially remodeled in 2005 down to the framing including electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, and windows, with a refresh in 2021 to include paint, flooring, a new water heater, refrigerator, quartz counters and a stunning backsplash...where the amateur chef can take center stage! The end result is an open family room, kitchen and dining area for all to enjoy! To complete the reimagined first floor, the Master bedroom has a bath with a free-standing jetted tub, a walk-in shower and two separate vanities. French doors take you to a small, fenced area for relaxing before going to bed. Across the hall, you will find another bedroom with an en suite bath room and steam room with access to the backyard. The third downstairs bedroom is currently being used as an office. To complete the interior, there is an upstairs room that has a large screen for movie nights or can serve as a guest suite since there is another bathroom and shower for convenience. In addition to the courtyard in front of the home, there is a large backyard completely redone with artificial turf along with a concrete area for the Hot Tub and extra seating. This home is complete... with the added bonus of being freeway close to Orange Counties best beaches, five minutes to John Wayne Airport, and within walking distance to South Coast Plaza, The Camp, The Lab and Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts! The only thing missing is YOU so call for an appointment to tour this outstanding home.

This property, originally built in 1965, underwent an extensive 'down to the framing' remodel in 2005, which included all major systems (electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, windows). This comprehensive renovation ensures the core infrastructure is modern and robust. Furthermore, a significant 'refresh' was completed in 2021 (just 3 years ago), updating paint, flooring, water heater, refrigerator, and installing new quartz counters and a stunning backsplash in the kitchen. The images confirm a highly modern and luxurious aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen with its contemporary design and high-end appliances, and the bathrooms featuring a jetted tub, walk-in showers, and dual vanities. While the major systems are 19 years old, they were part of a complete overhaul and are well within their expected lifespan, and the recent cosmetic updates make the property feel virtually new throughout, meeting current quality standards with no apparent deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Exceptional proximity to major freeways (405, 55, 73), John Wayne Airport, and walking distance to key cultural and retail hubs like South Coast Plaza, The Camp, The Lab, and Segerstrom Center, offering unparalleled convenience.
Extensive & Recent Remodel: The property underwent a comprehensive remodel in 2005 (down to framing, including electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, windows) and a significant refresh in 2021 (paint, flooring, water heater, refrigerator, quartz counters, backsplash), ensuring modern systems and aesthetics.
Thoughtful Interior Design & Amenities: Features an open-concept living space, a chef's kitchen with quartz counters and a stunning backsplash, a master suite with a jetted tub and steam room, and a versatile upstairs bonus room/guest suite, catering to modern living and luxury.
Enhanced Outdoor Living Spaces: Boasts attractive curb appeal, a charming private courtyard for entertaining, and a large, re-landscaped backyard with artificial turf and a concrete area for a hot tub, providing low-maintenance and functional outdoor areas.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as 'complete,' indicating that the home is meticulously updated and requires no immediate major renovations, offering a seamless transition for new owners.

Cons

Proximity to Freeways: While offering excellent access, being 'nestled in the triangle of the 405, 55 and 73 freeways' could lead to potential noise pollution, impacting outdoor enjoyment or indoor tranquility for some buyers.
Older Base Structure: Despite extensive remodels, the home's original construction year of 1965 might raise concerns for some buyers regarding foundational elements or long-term maintenance compared to newer builds.
Artificial Turf Preference: The 'completely redone with artificial turf' backyard, while low-maintenance, may not appeal to all buyers who prefer natural grass or more traditional landscaping.
