Welcoming magnificent sunset and hill views from its elevated cul-de-sac setting in guard-gated Covenant Hills at Ladera Ranch, this fully upgraded and turnkey townhome is among the finest in the exclusive neighborhood of Castellina. The residence showcases the enclave's best floorplan as, unlike many others, it has only one direct neighbor with none above or below, a private driveway with room for two cars, a downstairs primary suite while upstairs features a spacious loft and two ensuite bedrooms, plus a fully finished back yard with great privacy and gorgeous west-sunset views. Sophisticated, open, full of natural light, and refined, the luxurious two-story design reveals an impressive double-height foyer with custom chandelier, a generous family room with a custom fireplace framed by stacked stone from the floor to ceiling, and a sunlit dining room that offers access to the backyard. The kitchen is sublime, with a complete remodel incorporating custom underlit white and brown cabinetry with glass uppers, a built-in pantry, quartz countertops, a full subway-tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances. Approximately 2,190 square feet, this on-trend home presents three ensuite bedrooms and three- and one-half baths, including a main-level primary suite that opens to the backyard and displays a high ceiling, walk-in closet with custom built-ins, walk-in multi-head shower with built-in seat and custom tile, two sinks, picture-frame mirror and a quartz countertop. Upstairs, elegant built-in cabinetry awaits on the landing, and a spacious loft with vaulted ceiling opens to a covered view balcony via two sets of French doors. Secondary baths offer the finest finishes and fixtures, one secondary bedroom opens to the balcony, and another includes a built-in desk and Juliet balcony. Enjoy new staircase carpet, enhanced and additional lighting, woodgrain plank tile flooring throughout, archways, interior laundry, and an attached two-car garage with storage and an epoxy-coated floor. Located on a single-loaded street, the premium homesite is graced with a large and private backyard complete with new custom lighting and featuring a new built-in BBQ, tranquil fountain, and stone patios that generously accommodate outdoor entertaining. Parks, trails, shopping centers, and award-winning schools are just moments from home, and the beach cities of Dana Point, San Clemente and Laguna Beach are minutes away.
