The pleasant curb appeal of this colonial-style home, from the sitting area on the front porch to the 2nd story balcony that spans the length of the home, is always inviting. Entering the residence, this popular floor plan offers a DOWNSTAIRS bedroom with a half bath. There is a nicely sized living room with a cozy fireplace and sliding doors to the backyard. The efficient layout flows into a well-appointed and upgraded kitchen and dining area with new laminate floors, plenty of white shaker style cabinets, quartz countertops, recessed lighting and stainless-steel appliances. There is direct access to the 2-car garage with washer and dryer hookups. The LARGE, PRIVATE and TRANQUIL backyard is a perfect area for kids and pets to play, garden, for family gatherings and BBQ's. With such a large back and SIDE yard, there is room for a pool and possibly an ADU as well! Heading upstairs, the owner's retreat offers a nicely improved en-suite 3/4 bathroom and has French doors to the large balcony. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom. Other highlights include scraped ceilings, neutral paint, laminate floors, new finishes and light fixtures throughout, new kitchen and bathroom cabinets with quartz countertops, and central heating. Only steps away, Harper Park and playground offer a great space for walking, playing with kids and pets, or simply enjoying the beautiful open space. This interior tract home is also close to exceptional/award-winning schools (some of which are accessible from the neighborhood park and greenbelt), a short commute to world-class beaches, and the fine dining, entertainment, and shops at Main St, Pacific City, Bella Terra, Costco and Whole Foods. Also close to HB Central Park, Library & Senior Center, HB Sports Complex, the Equestrian Center, Meadowlark Golf Course, South Coast Plaza, the OC Fair Grounds, and more!
