Located in much-loved guard-gated Laguna Woods Village (an age-restricted 55+ community), this El Mirador unit is on the first floor of the building, just steps from the elevator to the community garage immediately below. Accessed off of the delightful shared courtyard, the unit is set behind a filigreed wrought iron security door that guards a second double entry door set that opens onto the single-level, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. Sweeping northwestern views of the community and golf course from the Dining room, Living room & private covered Balcony. A vintage brass chandelier lends a warm glow to the Dining Room. The adjoining Living Room is large enough to be separated into multiple spaces - a cozy Den + a formal Living Room + small office setup if need be. The Kitchen has recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances (electric range), durable oak cabinetry and a window above the sink that overlooks the lovely community courtyard. The expansive Primary Bedroom Suite has mirrored closet doors + an extra linen closet. Walk-in shower in the Hall Bathroom. Real engineered hardwood flooring in the bedrooms, living & dining rooms.

Unit is just steps from the elevator access that takes you directly to the underground parking area, which includes one dedicated parking spot and private storage. Extra guest parking at the entrance to the building. ** Hard to overstate the amount of community amenities available to Residents in Laguna Woods - 7 clubhouses, 5 pools, 2 fitness centers, lawn bowling + pickleball & tennis courts, 3 golf courses, the “19 Restaurant + Lounge” at the LWV Golf Club. Over 200 social clubs to choose from, on-site RV parking, equestrian facilities + two sublime Garden Centers where you can flex your green thumb to the fullest.
