Step into a storybook setting where every corner of your home invites comfort, ease, and beauty. This single-level Valencia Cottage-style residence is tucked behind lush, manicured landscaping in one of Southern California&#39's most celebrated 55+ communities — Laguna Woods Village, named Best Senior Living Community by the OC Register. As you walk through the private gated courtyard, a sense of serenity greets you — no stairs, no neighbors above or below, just the feeling of a true single-family sanctuary. Open the double front doors to reveal high ceilings and a light-filled living space that flows seamlessly into a dining area and a cozy alcove, perfect for a home office or reading nook. The kitchen is a showstopper, with elegant cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a sleek subway tile backsplash — designed for both beauty and function. The master bedroom is spacious and tranquil, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests or creative pursuits. The large updated bathroom also features a stacked washer and dryer. Beyond your front door lies a community like no other — over 2,100 acres of rolling hills, 24-hour security, and unmatched resort amenities: two professional golf courses, five pools (including a lap pool), seven unique clubhouses, an 814 seat performing arts center, library and history center, 2 community gardens, community TV channel with exclusive programming, over 250 clubs and organizations, and workshops for everything from ceramics to woodworking. Whether it’s horseback riding at the 38 stable equestrian center with a riding ring, or enjoying sunset dinners at the scenic restaurant overlooking the golf course, life here is as vibrant as you choose to make it. Located just minutes from Laguna Beach, shopping centers, and top medical care, this home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to love. Stock cooperative.
