About this property
Set on a corner lot in Portola Hills, this beautifully upgraded two-story home offers approximately 2,937 square feet, mountain views, a private low-maintenance yard, and a main-level bedroom and full bath. The five-bedroom, three-bath floor plan supports everyday living, guests, a home office, entertaining, and long-term flexibility, with a direct-access two-car garage. Travertine flooring gives the main level a warm, polished first impression. The living room makes the strongest statement with vaulted ceilings, plantation shutters, upgraded lighting, and natural light pouring in, while the adjoining dining area stays open to the main living spaces. Just off the entry, the main-level bedroom and full bath are ideal for guests, extended stays, or a quiet office. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and granite counters with stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and a garden-view window. The family room centers on the home’s fireplace and opens directly to the backyard for easy indoor-outdoor living. The private yard is framed by mature trees, pet-friendly artificial turf, vinyl fencing, and mountain views, with space for outdoor meals, quiet mornings, gardening, pets, or entertaining. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, mirrored closet doors, large windows, and an updated en suite bath with dual vanities, a spa tub, upgraded fixtures, and a remodeled double shower in designer-style tile. Three additional bedrooms add flexible second-level space. Upgrades run deep: dual-pane windows and sliding door, updated wood-look flooring upstairs, upgraded baseboards, ceiling fans, chandeliers, energy-saving HVAC, and fire/CO detectors. Rain gutters, refreshed exterior details, and updated landscaping carry the same care outdoors. Portola Hills residents enjoy low HOA dues, no Mello-Roos, and resort-style amenities including pool, spa, clubhouse, fitness center, sauna, volleyball, pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts. Nearby parks and Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park offer trails, open space, playgrounds, dog park access, and sports facilities. Shopping, dining, the 241 Toll Road, and Portola Hills Elementary, within the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, are close by.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
