Secondary bedrooms are spacious, two with walk-in closets, and the hall bath has been fully remodeled with new vanities, fixtures, and designer tile. Major system improvements include whole-house PEX re-pipe, newer HVAC system and water heater, whole house fan, solar, new garage doors, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The backyard features a saltwater PebbleTec pool and spa with Pentair equipment. Original-owner home located in Oak Knoll Village near the clubhouse, parks, and trails, offering one of the lowest Mello Roos in Ladera Ranch.
