This meticulously maintained Award Estates home—on the market for the first time in 46 years—is located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Fountain Valley’s premier neighborhoods, just steps to the park and close to top-rated schools. It offers full double-gated RV parking and an oversized 2.5-car epoxy-finished garage plus 3-car driveway. The desirable floorplan includes a downstairs bedroom and bath, while two of the upstairs secondary bedrooms have been dramatically expanded with spacious retreat areas—one featuring a custom-organized walk-in closet and the other with dual full-size mirrored closets. The picture-perfect interior showcases vaulted ceilings, central A/C, newer furnace, dual pane windows, recessed lighting, mirrored closets, and extensive crown molding throughout. Exceptional curb appeal includes lush landscaping, tropical foliage, raised planters with lighting, Spanish title roof, and a beautifully patterned interlocking paver driveway and walkway with lighting leading to double entry doors with a Palladian transom window. Step into the grand tiled foyer with a soaring two-story ceiling and medallion inlay, then into the elegant formal living and dining rooms, enhanced by a custom mirrored wall. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring clean Corian countertops, breakfast bar, coffered ceiling, tile flooring, double ovens, gas cooktop, natural wood cabinetry with some pull-outs & large pantry, plus a secondary walk-in pantry cleverly built from the space under the staircase. The kitchen flows into a casual dining area that overlooks a striking family room with a fireplace, built-in shelving, and a wall of sliding glass doors leading to a serene backyard oasis. Enjoy the private outdoor retreat with interlocking paver patio, pristine artificial lawn, raised planters, tranquil fountain, and block wall fencing—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Electricity has been added to both the front and rear yard for convenience. The luxurious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, retreat area, and two massive walk-in closets. All three bathrooms have been exquisitely remodeled with granite countertops, upgraded fixtures, and intricate tile work with inlays on the floors, walls, and full-height shower surrounds. The spa-like primary bath includes dual sinks, a sit-down vanity, and a tiled shower with a built-in bench. This exceptional, turnkey home truly has it all!
