Rarely does an opportunity like this come along in one of Fountain Valley’s most sought-after neighborhoods within a top-ranked school zone, just steps to a neighborhood park and walking distance to Courreges Elementary School. Situated on an interior lot, this highly desirable Stratford-built residence offers an exceptional floorplan and outstanding “bones,” ready for a new vision. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, approximately 2,672 square feet, an oversized 3-car garage, and an expansive park-like backyard, this home presents a rare chance to customize one of the community’s most popular models into a true dream home. Curb appeal welcomes you with manicured landscaping, brick-accented hardscape, and a wide driveway, while the double-door entry opens to a dramatic two-story foyer with tile flooring and abundant natural light. The spacious formal living room showcases a bay window and fireplace and flows into the adjacent formal dining room, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen offers recessed lighting, tile countertops, a long breakfast bar, gas cooktop with hood, oven, dishwasher, generous cabinetry, and a large pantry, opening to a bright morning room with slider access to the backyard and seamlessly connecting to the expansive family room featuring a wet bar, beamed ceiling, and raised-hearth fireplace. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet, a hall bath with tub/shower combo, a walk-in linen closet, and double doors leading to an impressive primary suite with its own fireplace, retreat area, dressing space with three closets, and a spacious bath with dual sinks, sit-down vanity, and separate tub and shower. The tranquil backyard feels like your own private park with a large concrete patio, lush lawn, mature fruit trees, block wall fencing, and sprinkler system—perfect for entertaining, play, or future expansion. Additional highlights include dual-pane windows, a downstairs powder room, and direct access to the oversized 3-car garage with a large laundry and hobby area. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and just a few miles from the beach, this is a rare blank-canvas Stratford home offering size, location, and unlimited potential.
