This distinctive dwelling is located in the hidden gated paradise of South Coast Shores, South Coast Metro's best kept secret. As one of the largest models in the complex it features an exceptionally bright and welcoming open floor plan with high ceilings, an engaging living room with central fire place, 3 remarkably large bedrooms (2 masters) and a huge family/bonus room with balcony upstairs. This property?s appeal is emphasized by new designer colors and carpet, newer dual pained windows, recessed lighting, a private patio for outdoor entertainment and an oversized conveniently attached 2 car garage. This actually offers an infrequent opening to live in a dazzling lake-resort style gated community in the heart of an important urban area! The community's lavish landscape surrounds a deep blue 1.3 acre central lake, seconds from internationally known South Coast Plaza, the Orange County Performing art center, several renowned restaurants and from main freeways such as 405, 55 & 73
