Convenient lower-level "Casa Linda" with easy street access! Ideally located with street parking directly in front on Via Mariposa and convenient to Gates 5 and 6, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a desirable floorplan, abundant storage and a lovely south-facing patio with a sunny, green outlook thanks to the foliage growing over the wall. The southern exposure brings in wonderful natural light throughout the day, making this lower-level home surprisingly bright and inviting! The spacious living room features a wall-mounted heat pump, large windows and a sliding glass door opening to the patio—an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding greenery. The kitchen includes an updated HOA-maintained countertop and sink, while the adjacent dining area features an added ceiling fan for additional lighting and air circulation. The guest bedroom enjoys its own sliding glass door to the patio, bringing in extra natural light and providing direct outdoor access. The nearby guest bathroom features the original HOA-maintained cast-iron tub/shower combination. The primary suite offers excellent storage with mirrored closet doors, the original seated vanity area and a convenient stackable washer/dryer tucked inside the closet. The ensuite bathroom is brightened by an additional window and features a walk-in shower. Additional improvements include some dual-pane aluminum-frame windows. This home retains many original components, providing a wonderful opportunity to personalize and update to your own taste—or enjoy the convenience of HOA maintenance of qualifying original components. While there are steps from the assigned carport, convenient street parking is available directly in front of the home on Via Mariposa. Another bonus is the close proximity to Clubhouse 4, Laguna Woods Village’s popular arts and crafts center, featuring an array of creative studios and workshops along with a swimming pool and spa.
