Welcome to Villa La Paloma, a quiet community of 88 homes where life is easy and the best of Orange is right at your doorstep. Spend sunny afternoons by the community pool and spa, browse the shelves at El Modena Library just across the road, then stroll to restaurants, coffee, and shops without reaching for your keys. El Modena Park is a few minutes away for weekend walks, pickup games, and time with the dog. Historic Old Town Orange, with its fabulous cafes, boutiques, and events, is only 10 minutes away, and the trails, lake, and open space of Irvine Regional Park are a short drive from home. Coming home is part of the pleasure. This light-filled end-unit townhome shares just one wall, so it has extra windows, abundant natural light, and a real sense of privacy. Soaring ceilings and an open layout make the main level ideal for hosting, and the fireplace anchors the living room for relaxed evenings. The oversized two-car garage opens directly into the kitchen, so groceries go from car to counter in a few steps. The reverse floorplan places both bedrooms on their own lower level, away from the main living areas. The primary suite has a walk-in shower and opens to a private, fully enclosed backyard that wraps around the side of the home. A covered patio makes it easy to dine outdoors, entertain, or let the dog roam, with the privacy of a house and low upkeep. The second bedroom has a walk-in closet and an adjacent full bath, and it works equally well as a home office or guest room. A large storage closet completes the level, and the garage laundry area offers both gas and electric hookups. The big-ticket updates are already done: new subflooring and luxury vinyl flooring on the main level, a new electrical panel, a newer forced-air furnace and 3-ton AC compressor, newer attic ductwork, and a newer gas water heater. The HOA maintains the greenbelts, and an extra-long private driveway and plenty of guest parking make hosting easy. Freeway access is quick when you do want to go farther. Come home to a place where every day feels a little easier, and the neighbors, the sunshine, and the simple pleasures are right outside your door.
