This area is complemented by a gas BBQ area and numerous spaces for entertaining or as a children’s play area. Adding to the allure, this home boasts two primary suites, with the main suite conveniently located on the main floor and the other being part of a 2011 addition, tucked away in the back section of the second floor for added privacy. Each of the six bedrooms comes complete with an ensuite bathroom. This home is an architectural masterpiece unlike any other in Orange County.
