Rarely does a true single-level home of this caliber become available in Covenant Hills. Built in 2013, this semi-custom Legacy residence offers the perfect blend of timeless architecture, modern design, and effortless single-story living.
A private arched entry welcomes you into an extraordinary 500-square-foot enclosed courtyard—an outdoor sanctuary ideal for entertaining, evening gatherings, or al fresco dining. Surrounded by panel doors, this remarkable space seamlessly connects the indoors and outdoors, creating an exceptional extension of the home.
Inside, the expansive great room serves as the heart of the residence, flowing effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen while being framed by walls of glass that overlook the beautifully landscaped backyard and a lush, private hillside backdrop. A striking fireplace, Restoration Hardware lighting, and rich Provenza hardwood flooring create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the gourmet kitchen showcases custom Walker Zanger tile, glazed cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, a massive center island with seating, premium stainless steel appliances including a six-burner range with griddle, and reverse osmosis drinking water.
The tranquil primary suite offers a true retreat with designer finishes, grasscloth accent wall, private access to the backyard, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub beneath a chandelier, and an oversized walk-in shower with dual rainforest shower heads. Two additional ensuite bedrooms—including one with its own private entrance—provide ideal accommodations for guests, family, or a home office. A spacious laundry room with built-in workspace and Dutch door completes the thoughtfully designed floor plan.
Beyond the home, residents enjoy the unmatched lifestyle of Ladera Ranch, including multiple resort-style pools, the newly renovated water park, updated miniature golf course, scenic hiking and biking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, award-winning schools, community events, and miles of parks and open space. Ideally situated just minutes from Dana Point Harbor, world-class beaches, and the shopping and employment centers of Irvine, this home offers an exceptional blend of luxury, convenience, and the coveted Southern California lifestyle.
