PANORAMIC CITY LIGHT VIEWS | GUARD-GATED ROCKING HORSE RIDGE | REMODELED INTERIOR | PREMIER HILLSIDE LOCATION | Perched high above Orange County in the coveted guard-gated community of Rocking Horse Ridge, this beautifully updated residence captures breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the valley, sparkling city lights, and distant mountain vistas. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 2,249 square feet on a 5,500 square foot lot, the home combines comfortable everyday living with an exceptional view-oriented setting. A charming front courtyard welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and warm wood flooring create an inviting first impression. The formal living and dining room features dramatic vaulted ceilings, a striking brick fireplace, and expansive windows that frame the surrounding views. Just beyond, the family room offers a relaxed gathering space with built-in cabinetry, custom stone accents, and seamless access to the backyard. The kitchen is ideally positioned to enjoy the scenery and features granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless appliances, a center island, recessed lighting, and a sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the hills and city below. Sliding doors connect the living spaces to the backyard, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, large picture windows, and stunning panoramic views. The remodeled en-suite bath showcases dual vanities, marble countertops, designer cabinetry, an oversized walk-in shower, and generous storage. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with dual sinks and provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The backyard is designed to maximize the incredible setting, offering multiple patios, a covered dining area, mature landscaping, and front-row seats to spectacular sunsets and twinkling evening lights. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining guests, the outdoor spaces provide an unforgettable backdrop. Residents of Rocking Horse Ridge enjoy 24-hour guard-gated security and resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, spa, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, greenbelts, and access to nearby Peters Canyon Regional Park. This is a rare opportunity to own a view home in one of Orange County’s most sought-after hillside communities.
