Perched above a lush greenbelt, this very popular second-floor Casa Contenta model offers a true treehouse in the woods feel with spectacular west-facing views from the private balcony. Just 14 easy-riser stairs lead to this beautifully updated home, ideally positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac atop a peaceful knoll. The light-filled living room features a wall of newer dual-pane sliding glass doors, framing serene views of mature trees and manicured greenbelt below. From the expansive deck, enjoy unobstructed vistas and tranquil sunsets in total privacy. Inside, the home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, smooth ceilings throughout, elegant crown molding, and easy-care wood-look laminate flooring. Sleek stainless-steel ceiling fans add a modern touch in both the living room and bedrooms. The updated kitchen showcases quartz countertops, a custom tile backsplash, and an opened ceiling with recessed lighting for bright, even illumination. Appliances include a glass cooktop, range hood, oven, dishwasher, and garbage disposal—all owned and maintained by the HOA. A conveniently located stacked washer and dryer sit in a closet within the dressing area. Nestled within the active, award-winning senior community of Laguna Woods Village, residents enjoy a resort-style lifestyle with seven clubhouses, three gyms, five swimming pools, tennis courts, equestrian facilities, golf cart trails, and both 9-hole executive and 27-hole championship golf courses. HOA dues include water, sewer, trash, and basic cable with 100+ channels, along with fare-free bus service throughout the community. Pet-friendly, wonderfully walkable, and just five miles from the ocean, this safe and serene setting is close to shopping, restaurants, churches, and more.
