About this single-family home
Look up, open your arms & say thank you. That prayer you uttered just got answered. Swaying palm trees at the curbside entry are a testament to the coastal breezes and the proximity of the Pacific Ocean, a few miles south. This expanded, single level home in the desirable Villa Monterey enclave, is one of those rare examples of beauty, functionality & an accommodating floor plan, It offers four bedrooms, plus an office w/built-in shelving, bookcases & storage cabinets. No need to commute, it’s boudoir to desk in steps. The excitement doesn’t stop there. Natural light cascades through the beveled glass doors casting a glow on the soaring ceilings & the brick and stone fireplace, in the formal living room. Grateful hearts gather for Sunday dinner, in the adjacent dining room. Kick back and pass the popcorn, the family room and adjoining kitchen are the nexus for movie nights and entertaining. A louvered panel door separates the living spaces from the bedrooms providing tranquility and privacy. Adding to the charm, beauty and panache’ are gleaming hardwood floors, a newer (2016) roof, new neutral paint throughout, double sinks and vanities in both bathrooms, smooth ceilings, dual pane windows, three skylights, two wet bars, four sets of sliding doors and two patios; front and rear. Now step outside. The glory of a home is the land, and this piece of paradise offers a slice of heaven with a pool and spa, for those warm summer days when relaxation and rejuvenation beckons. Answer the call. Live like a boss. Celebrate every aspect of your good fortune. Flip burgers and lift a glass with friends on the rear slate patio. Want more? A good life offers abundance around every corner. That lush green lawn in the side yard wraps around to the front yard and is an invitation to explore the proliferation of fruit. Branches form a trellis of the two varieties of avocado trees. Good karma begets blessings in the form of lemons, grapefruit, and oranges, too. Award winning Fountain Valley schools are nearby. Your life can be enriched by your neighborhood and the company you keep. Veterans Park, the FV Library and Los Alamos Park are neighborhood highlights. The SoCal lifestyle is enhanced by the proximity to the sand, surf, shops, restaurants, Mile Square Park, two-18 hole golf courses, health clubs, FV sports fields, and easy access to the 405 Freeway. Discover the joy of a life well lived. You’ve earned it. Welcome home.
