Rarely available, single story home with panoramic views in the gated community of Laguna Woods, designed by renowned Laguna Beach architect Chris Abel. At the end of a single loaded cul-de-sac, this property exudes mid-century modern, sleek contemporary with wood and glass details and dramatic cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams. Meticulously updated, recent (2017) upgrades include a complete repipe, Trane furnace and air conditioning with ultra-quiet compressor and air filtration, and whole house water filtration system. The interior has been extensively renovated with large format Italian flooring lighting fixtures, upgraded plumbing finishes, and elegant fireplace enhancements. The gourmet kitchen, completely remodeled in 2018, features custom cabinetry, premium fittings, and top-of-the-line luxury appliances including Wolf cook top ovens, Sub-Zero freezer and True Residential refrigerator. Exterior boasts fresh exterior paint (2025), and a professional landscape hardscape remodel (2024) to create a tranquil, resort-like setting that is water-wise and low maintenance. Additional updates include remodeled powder bath with new vanity and lighting (2025). The home features a substantial custom metal entry gate with ring camera, affording privacy from the street and a grand entrance into the home. Thoughtfully placed windows everywhere you turn in the property make it light, bright, and cheerful -- including the atrium between the secondary bedroom and primary bedroom retreat. The spacious floorplan boasts 2BD, 2.5BA, a retreat off the primary bedroom perfect for an office or den, a family room off the tremendous kitchen, plus a living room off the formal dining room. There is also spacious counter seating adjacent to the kitchen, for an additional eating area. The home has three cozy fireplaces in the family, living, and master bed rooms. French doors in the primary bedroom living room lead out to the expansive deck with breathtaking views of sunrise (and moonrise!), Saddleback Mountain, hillside lights across the golf course, and some peek a boo ocean views. There is also a spacious wrap around yard with raised bed vegetable garden and front courtyard area. Home is conveniently situated adjacent to association pool and spa, and is on a quiet cul-de-sac in this unique, architecturally significant community only a short drive from El Niguel Country Club, hiking trails, Pacific Coast Highway the beach.
