Homes like this don't come along often. Offered for the first time by the original owner, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath single-story residence offers the perfect combination of space, comfort, and an unbeatable commuter location. Just three exits from Orange County via the 91 Fwy and only one exit from the 71 Fwy, you'll enjoy convenient access while coming home to a quiet, established neighborhood, located approximately a mile from the fwy. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings and a warm, inviting living room centered around a cozy fireplace. The heart of the home is the expansive family room / family kitchen area, where there's plenty of space to gather, entertain, or simply enjoy everyday living. Large sliding doors lead to the backyard where your private pool awaits--ideal for cooling off on warm summer days or hosting family and friends. The outdoor living space offers exceptional privacy and includes a large side yard, a secluded backyard, and a durable Alumin-wood patio cover, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining year-round. While the home offers an excellent opportunity to add your own personal style and cosmetic updates, you'll appreciate the significant investments already made in the home's major systems. Within approximately the last six years, improvements include a tile roof, PEX plumbing re-pipe, water heater, carpet, pool pump, garage door opener, and additional infrastructure updates--allowing you to focus on making the home your own rather than tackling costly repairs. Adding even more value, the home includes the gas range and oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, and dryer and dual pane windows and patio doors. Whether you're searching for a spacious single-story home, a backyard designed for entertaining, or a property with outstanding long-term value in a highly convenient location, this Meadow Ridge gem checks all the boxes. Don't miss this rare opportunity to make it yours. Professional photos coming soon.
