Meticulously updated, this Newport Coast home is nestled in the coveted gated community of Montserrat and basks in panoramic mountain and city light views. Offering 3 bedrooms plus loft - that could be used as a 4th bedroom - and 2.5 baths, this turn-key residence has been freshly painted and features beautiful new wide-planked French Oak hardwood flooring. A private garden path leads to the home's welcoming entry where the formal living room impresses with voluminous 2-story ceilings. Abundant windows accented by plantation shutters drench the airy interiors in natural light. The updated kitchen features new appliances and designer backsplash and opens to the cozy family room complete with fireplace. Upstairs, a private master suite with high ceilings and large walk-in closet connects to the luxurious master bath with soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a spacious loft that could be used as an office or 4th bedroom complete the floor. Outside, a beautifully hardscaped rear yard takes full advantage of the city and hillside views beyond and encompasses a built-in BBQ and buffet bar. Residents of the sought-after Montserrat community enjoy resort-style amenities including pool, spa, and clubhouse.
