Enjoy room to grow in style at this stately Willow Bend home in Ladera Ranch’s desirable Avendale Village. Nestled on a beautiful cul-de-sac street with broad tree-lined parkways and an intimate neighborhood park, the elegant Colonial residence garners attention with custom stone and brick hardscaping, a classic front porch, and perfectly manicured landscaping including potted roses along the front walk. Offered by its original owners, the beautifully maintained executive home ensures comfortable living in approximately 3,090 square feet, complete with four bedrooms, three baths and expansive bonus room. One bedroom is conveniently located downstairs, while two secondary bedrooms share a bath upstairs. The primary suite frames neighborhood views from a balcony over the porch below and is characterized by a sitting area, custom built-in dresser, walk-in shower, soaking tub, two sinks and a sit-down vanity. Public spaces are just as impressive and include a formal entry, formal living and dining rooms, and a grand three-tiered staircase with traditional railings and balustrades. Hardwood flooring and new custom paint accentuate the timeless style of living areas that continue with a family room that presents a stone fireplace with white mantle, and a custom built-in entertainment center. Casual entertaining can easily flow from the family room to the kitchen, where a breakfast nook is joined by extensive white cabinetry, granite countertops, a custom full tile backsplash, pantry, island, and upgraded stainless steel Kenmore Elite appliances. The main floor also offers an upgraded bath with marble finishes, and an attached three-car tandem garage with newer water heater and a Pure Elements water-softening system. Everyone will enjoy the practical Quiet Cool whole house system. An oversized bonus room is featured upstairs and can easily become a fifth bedroom, while an office niche makes homework easy with built-in cabinetry and two desks. Backing to a tranquil sloped greenbelt, the homesite measures nearly 5,713 square feet and includes a private backyard with covered patio, built-in BBQ island, and a lawn large enough for playtime and party time. Willow Bend residents are close to Avendale’s popular Poets Park, Cherry Plunge water park, and Founders Park. Shopping centers and trails for walking, biking and hiking are nearby, and outstanding schools serve all grade levels.
