Welcome to the kind of Temecula home that just feels right the moment you walk through the door. Beautifully cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, this 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers 2700+ sq ft of living space and sits perfecting on a 7,405 square feet of lot with a bright open interior and the flexible floor plan every buyer is looking for. The entrance is filled with natural light, soaring ceilings and an immediate sense of space. An expansive formal living room opens naturally into the dining area, creating a beautiful setting for entertaining while still feeling comfortable enough for everyday living. From there, the home flows into the oversized kitchen, where crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops and an incredible amount of storage create a space that is both beautiful and genuinely functional. There is room for everyone to gather here, and the kitchen opens directly to the secondary living area with a cozy fireplace, making this the true heart of the home. Large dual-pane windows, plantation shutters and the abundance of natural light carry throughout the downstairs. A sliding glass door just off the kitchen makes indoor/outdoor living easy and gives you a clear connection to the backyard. Enjoy the convenience of an oversized downstairs bedroom and full bathroom. The space lives almost like its own Next Gen-style suite and offers so many possibilities for guests, extended family, a private office or a separate living space. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with an open landing stretching across the second level almost like a bridge, overlooking the entry and living room below and gives the home that open feeling. 4 additional generously sized bedrooms are located upstairs, including an impressive primary suite entered through double doors. The primary is exceptionally spacious, with beautiful natural light, room for a sitting area and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a large glass-enclosed shower and plenty of room to begin and end the day comfortably. The private, pool-sized backyard offers plenty of room to entertain, garden or simply relax, with a mature shade tree, raised garden beds, multiple sitting areas and beautiful mountain views. Paid solar, newer windows and thoughtful modern upgrades throughout make this home as efficient and functional as it is beautiful. Located in established South Temecula with low taxes and HOA, minutes to Pechanga, Wine Country, shopping, dining, freeway access and Great Oak High School
