Joyful…that's how this exceptionally beautiful home will make you feel. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac lined with handsome, well-kept homes, here is a perfect location for living the good life. Stroll past the lush lawn and meticulously manicured shrubbery to the welcoming front porch, set well back from the street. Open the front door and step into an open concept main level (recently updated with new luxury vinyl flooring and baseboards, and a tasteful neutral color palette freshly painted throughout) illuminated by large windows. You'll appreciate the sense of space and the sightlines to all the places you will gather with family and friends. The natural flow includes a large dining area, a comfortable family room featuring a fireplace with uniquely designed, natural-stone surround, and a kitchen with lots of cabinetry and a peninsula with built-in cooktop and barstool seating space for spectators to watch the chef at work. Open the big slider and instantly expand your living space to include a fully enclosed backyard Shangri-La of emerald, green lawns (badminton anyone?), attractive plants, and wraparound patio space for dining and relaxing. Also on the main level, a spacious primary bedroom and a sumptuous, recently remodeled, spa-like bath with dual sink vanity, gorgeous custom tile work, and positively immense glass enclosed shower. On the upper level, also freshly painted, completed with new carpet, you'll have space for everyone—three additional bedrooms, plenty of closets, and full bath. Of course, the icing on the cake—the location. “Is that the ocean I hear?” It's unlikely unless you have superhuman hearing, but that beautiful blue water and warm sand IS only a couple of miles away as the crow flies, or a few minutes' drive if you prefer ground transportation. When you feel like venturing out, there's plenty to do. Just a block or so from your new house, Carr Park with its lake and playgrounds. Also nearby, Mile Square Regional Park, Meadowlark Golf Club, all the attractions along Pacific Coast Highway, and a wide array of shopping and dining. Huntington Beach, with its excellent schools (within walking distance), great recreation, and proximity to the Pacific, is one of Orange County's most delightful and highly-rated communities.
