    This charming two-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is ideally situated in one of the community’s most desirable courtyards. Surrounded by lavish mature trees and tucked within a quieter, separate section of the neighborhood, this location offers a peaceful and tranquil lifestyle while providing natural shade and cooler temperatures during warm summer days. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout (except the kitchen), the home features double-pane windows with new blinds, updated exterior light fixtures, new flooring, and beautifully refinished stairs with new wood underlayment, fresh paint, and new baseboards. The downstairs bathroom has been remodeled and includes an additional storage room for added convenience. Both bedrooms are upstairs, offering natural light and a nice breeze that flows throughout. Additional improvements include all new grounded electrical outlets, updated doorknobs, new exhaust fans in both bathrooms, and new toilets. The newly updated balcony with new wood flooring provides another inviting outdoor space to enjoy, while the kitchen is enhanced with a new ceiling fan and a wall A/C unit for added comfort. The private patio offers easy access to the assigned carport, which includes a wooden storage compartment. A second parking space is available in the open parking area on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents can appreciate the close proximity to the community pool, clubhouse, and laundry facilities, making everyday living both easy and enjoyable. HOA dues conveniently cover water, trash, sewer, hazard insurance and exterior maintenance. The location is unbeatable! Conveniently located just minutes from the 5 and 55 freeways and close to schools, restaurants, bakeries, bus stops, the Santa Ana Zoo, DMV, and more. This beautifully upgraded home is truly a must-see!
