Thoughtful attention to detail and creative elegance permeates every aspect of this designer home which has been structurally altered from the original floorplan and extensively remodeled throughout. Situated on a corner lot in the gated community of Kensington Estates, the open floor plan boasts a billiard room, a piano room, an oversize office downstairs, and 5 bedrooms upstairs. The chef’s kitchen has been opened to the family room and features granite countertops, custom cabinets with soft close doors, an oversized island with bar seating, stainless steel Viking and Dacor appliances, and a beautiful copper sink. The owner’s suite boasts striking views of the surrounding hills, a spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower, a Serenity Aquatic jetted tub, and a large walk-out deck. The entertainer's backyard features a remodeled pool and spa, an outdoor bar area, a built-in fireplace and fire pit, new hardscape, and custom landscaping to complement the tranquil setting. Featured upgrades, too numerous to mention, include a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, custom wood paneling and woodwork, polished travertine and wood flooring, copper accents in the kitchen, top-of-the-line Rohl fixtures, crown molding, and a solar system on the roof. Enjoy the Southern California Lifestyle in this prime location just up the hill from a myriad of shopping and dining options at the Aliso Viejo Town Center and award-winning schools; minutes from the world-renowned Ritz Carlton and Waldorf-Astoria resorts and some of Southern California's finest beaches. Enjoy the charm of Laguna Beach Village with its shops, restaurants, and galleries and the Dana Point Harbor and newly renovated ‘Lantern District’ just a short drive away. This inviting home is ready for move-in.
