First time on the market in nearly 50 years! Proudly offered by the original owner, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded home combines timeless pride of ownership with major modern improvements. Set against sweeping views including the Saddleback Mountain range, and located on a single loaded cul de sac, the home is flooded with natural light and features soaring high ceilings that create an open, airy feel throughout. This home boasts a main floor bedroom and full bathroom with walk in shower plus 4 additional bedrooms upstairs, one that is an oversized bonus room that has a bar area that could also be the closet. The original builder floorplan has been reimagined, with a wall removed to fully reconfigure the kitchen into a more open, functional, and contemporary gathering space flowing into the dining and living areas. Extensive interior enhancements include added recessed lighting, beautiful French doors and windows that elevate the natural light and indoor-outdoor flow, custom fireplace features, updated flooring, and tasteful millwork throughout. Significant system upgrades and replacements provide peace of mind for years to come, including a full PEX repipe, new HVAC system (2024) with furnace and A/C, replaced windows, new driveway, and a roof replaced in 2006. Additional recent and planned improvements include new dishwasher (2024), new oven/microwave (2024), & exterior paint (2021) and interior paint (2025). The backyard is an entertainer's dream with a replastered pool, jacuzzi, new pool pump (2023), outdoor BBQ area, fire pit, and plenty of space to relax while enjoying the view. Oversized three-car garage, including a third bay with attic storage above, plus a huge additional attic offering exceptional storage capacity. Inside, a large bonus room provides flexible space for a game room, office, gym, or media retreat. This is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly cared-for home that blends major system upgrades, thoughtful improvements, and an unbeatable setting in sought-after El Niguel Heights.
