Welcome to this beautifully updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath carriage unit condo in Laguna Hills, offering rare privacy with no one above or below and a single-level layout with vaulted ceilings. This desirable floor plan is commonly recognized as the “Garden View” model, a layout that rarely becomes available and is prized for its openness, natural light, and functional design. Ideally positioned within the community, this home stands out for its elevated location and abundant sunlight throughout. The open floor plan features a spacious living room, dining area, and a large galley-style kitchen with a versatile breakfast nook ideal for a home office or flex space. The living area is anchored by a charming mid-century modern gas fireplace with ceramic logs, capable of efficiently heating the home. The 2024 remodeled kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry with pantry pull-outs and built-in trash storage, stainless steel sink and faucet, Bosch dishwasher, Whirlpool microwave, convection oven, and a stainless steel refrigerator-all included. Additional upgrades include luxury vinyl flooring, dual-pane vinyl windows, and a blend of shutters, blinds, and curtains for optimal light control. The primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a custom-organized walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom with granite countertop vanity, tub and shower combination, and a private commode area. A full-size washer and dryer (dryer replaced in 2024) are located in a private, lockable laundry closet on the patio, along with additional storage areas. Recent improvements include a newer HVAC system (2017) and community roof replacement within the past year. The home includes a dedicated carport with convenient guest parking nearby. The HOA provides exceptional value by covering water, trash, natural gas, landscaping, fire insurance, hot water via a central boiler system, and earthquake insurance, significantly reducing overall ownership costs. Enjoy your private oversized patio along with access to community pools and BBQ areas. Conveniently located near the 73 Toll Road, Moulton Parkway, Oso Parkway, and the 5 Freeway, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and South Orange County beaches. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready, highly private carriage unit in Laguna Hills with a sought-after floor plan, modern upgrades, and strong HOA benefits.
