Located in a serene Murrieta neighborhood that’s close to shopping, top rated schools, and freeways, so you won’t need to go far for anything. Curb appeal welcomes you with fresh exterior paint, mature citrus trees in front, and a shaded front porch. Enter into a spacious living room, separate from the family room with a fireplace, both featuring vaulted ceilings. The oversized kitchen is central to the home and generous with: the island, counter space, storage, and even a pantry closet. A formal dining room with shutters and detailed wood trim adds a touch of elegance looking out onto the sparkling salt water pool. A half bath completes the main living areas, making it easy to host. Down the hall are all 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet for privacy and comfort. The three secondary bedrooms share a hall bath with a split design, allowing multiple users at once. The laundry room leads to a roomy 3-car garage with an EV charger. Upstairs you’ll find the loft is a wonderful space for whatever you need, currently enjoyed as a home theater. The pool, blooming garden, and a partially covered patio make the back yard a rejuvenating place from sunrise to sunset. Fully paid solar keeps electric costs low.
