Now offered at an improved price, this beautifully updated home represents one of the most compelling opportunities in Rossmoor. Combining architectural character, thoughtful upgrades, and an ideal single-level layout, this reimagined mid-century modern El Dorado model offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,854 sq. ft. on a 7,665 sq. ft. lot in the highly sought-after Rossmoor community. With vaulted ceilings, an open-concept design, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this home captures the very best of Southern California living. Step through the custom front door into a bright, airy interior featuring striking vaulted ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and expansive windows that flood the home with natural light. The redesigned open layout creates effortless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas—perfect for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with premium energy-efficient stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner Viking cooktop, microwave/convection oven, garden window, skylight, and warm butcher block countertops. Just off the main living area, a spacious bonus room with custom built-ins and direct backyard access offers flexible living space ideal for a media room, playroom, or secondary lounge. Both bathrooms have been fully remodeled, with the spa-inspired primary bath showcasing marble tile, modern vanities, and a walk-in shower. The hall bath includes a jetted tub and a solar tube, enhancing both comfort and natural light. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a private front courtyard perfect for al fresco dining and a landscaped backyard designed for relaxation or entertaining. With only two adjacent neighbors and a tranquil backdrop enhancing privacy, this outdoor space feels like a true retreat. Additional improvements include seller-owned solar panels (installed 2016), upgraded 200-amp electrical service, and a brand-new roof (2023) with a 50-year warranty—providing long-term value and peace of mind. A long driveway, manicured lawn, and colorful flower gardens further elevate the home’s curb appeal. Ideally located within the award-winning Los Alamitos Unified School District and just minutes from the beach, shopping, golf, and major freeways, this Rossmoor residence offers a rare blend of timeless design, modern convenience, and exceptional value.
