Charming curb appeal and a welcoming red door invite you into this lovely Alamitos Heights one-story home featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 1,648 square feet on a full sized lot. Immediately upon opening the front door, you will notice the fine craftsmanship of the built-in cabinetry and mantle surrounding the fireplace in the large living room with bay window. This beautiful wood work continues into the dining room with custom wainscoting. The remodeled kitchen with granite counters, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, pull out spice racks and abundant storage make this space a chef’s dream. The kitchen opens directly onto a cozy family room offering a second fireplace, recessed lighting, skylight, and access to the amazing backyard. The spacious and private primary suite with walk-in closet and French doors has an attached, secluded bricked deck perfect for relaxing. The primary bathroom has double sinks and a corner glass shower. Located along the hall are the 2nd and 3rd nicely-sized bedrooms with ample closet space that are separated by a timelessly updated bathroom with a rain shower/tub combo with tile inlay and granite-topped vanity. The landscaped backyard is a serene oasis with three different areas. A stone path leads to the hidden gem - a private patio set beneath a wood pergola surrounded by a gorgeous garden and a wall of trees. This wonderful home also offers the much desired central heat and air conditioning! The house is centrally located near the Colorado Lagoon, Marine Stadium, Marina Vista Park, weekly Farmers’ Markets, and award winning schools.
