55+ community! Beautifully remodeled 2BD/2BA "Cordoba" with an inviting, upscale coastal cottage feel! One of Laguna Woods' most desirable floorplans, the Cordoba is the largest single-level co-op with no steps and no one above or below. Approach through the beautifully maintained landscaping to a covered front entry patio, creating a private outdoor retreat. A beautiful front door with white locking screen door and wall-mounted fountain providing relaxing background sound welcomes you inside. This extensive remodel features engineered wood flooring, smooth ceilings and walls, upgraded moldings, central HVAC, dual-pane windows, paneled interior doors and Bosch stack washer/dryer. The spacious great room showcases an open-concept kitchen with custom white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, white subway tile backsplash, garden window, recessed lighting and stainless appliances including refrigerator with water line. A generous center island adds stylish blue cabinetry, under-counter microwave, pull-out trash/recycling bins, pendant lighting and breakfast bar seating. The charming banquette dining area with contemporary ceiling fan/light offers a comfortable spot for meals and entertaining. Vertical shiplap detailing and upgraded moldings add character, while two sets of French doors with integrated blinds open to the expansive rear patio featuring pebble flooring, large storage cabinet and another wall-mounted fountain. Back inside, the living area is anchored by an impressive built-in media center with decorative electric fireplace and display shelving. Both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with stone-topped vanities and exceptional tilework. The guest bath features a resurfaced tub/shower with barn-door-style glass enclosure and striking ocean-inspired wall tile incorporating wave-pattern tile and blue glass accents throughout the tub surround and feature wall. The equally impressive primary bath offers a coordinating walk-in shower plus additional linen storage created when the water heater was relocated outside.
