This stunning single-story residence is located in the prestigious Montbury on the Hill community in North Lake Forest. Known for its unique custom homes, equestrian/hiking trails, and recreational amenities including private tennis courts, and pickleball courts, this neighborhood offers a rare serene country feel. The home showcases vaulted ceilings, and an expansive open floor plan. Newer windows and La Cantina folding doors open to an added California Room, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The kitchen has been beautifully expanded to include a large island, dining area, and top-of-the-line appliances and conveniences, including soft-close cabinetry, and much more. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with high ceilings, LED lighting, and an upgraded sliding door opening up to your resort-style backyard. The fully renovated bathroom features a tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. The spacious secondary bedrooms, remodeled bathroom, and interior laundry room enhance the home's appeal. Additional upgrades include luxurious wood flooring, modern light fixtures, LED lighting, and a 3-car garage with sealed concrete floors. The electrical system was upgraded to 200 amps, ready for solar panels, a battery backup system, and/or an electric car charger. A high-capacity tankless hot water heater was installed, and a comprehensive whole-house, Puragain, water filtration system complete with an alkylator system for dispensing on-demand mineral water. The kitchen counters were sealed and polished, creating spill protection and a perfect finish. Maintenance updates include dryer vent cleaning and all new attic insulation. The backyard is a private oasis with a Wi-Fi-enabled and heated saltwater pool and spa, new landscaping with low-maintenance plants, and an upgraded drip irrigation system with a Rainbird Wi-Fi-enabled controller. The air conditioning system was serviced in April 2024, ensuring comfort for the upcoming season. In addition to the quiet neighborhood and panoramic views of the Santa Ana mountains, one of the greatest advantages of this location is the close proximity (walking distance) of the Lake Forest Sports Park and Recreation Center, the Aliso Creek Trail, and the Whiting Ranch hiking trails, including the infamous Red Rock Canyon Trail. Enjoy Pittsford Community Park's summer concerts, award-winning schools, and convenient access to the Toll Road, shopping, and dining. This unique and exceptional home is a must-see!
