17 Blakemore Dr, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694

Spacious, elegant and ideal for virtually every lifestyle, this custom-expanded and recently remodeled home is located on a desirable single-loaded cul-de-sac street in Ladera Ranch. Handsome exterior architecture is accented by a covered front balcony and a rotunda entry that opens to an impressive two-story interior of approximately 3,531 square feet. Five bedrooms and three baths offer ample space and enviable comfort, with the main-level bedroom being perfect for guests or a home office. Memorable meals will be enjoyed in a formal dining room with wainscoting and French doors that open to a side patio, and the family room, with its fireplace, coffered ceiling and built-in entertainment center, is destined to be a favorite spot for spontaneous get-togethers, movie nights and sleep-overs. The adjacent kitchen showcases a remodel that incorporates a large island, breakfast nook, stone countertops, white cabinetry with glass uppers, and deluxe stainless steel appliances including a wine refrigerator, Wolf Range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Woodgrain plank-tile flooring, bold archways, custom millwork, recessed LED lights, custom lighting fixtures, interior/exterior sound system, water softener and a three-car garage with extra built-in storage cabinets add elegance and convenience, while a full repipe, new HVAC and a newer water heater work behind the scenes to ensure comfort and energy-efficiency. Upstairs, a hall with grass-cloth wallpaper and floating shelves creates a gallery vibe, and a loft opens a world of possibilities. Big western views of colorful sunsets, rolling hills and neighborhood lights embellish the primary suite, which hosts a vaulted ceiling with custom beams, and a remodeled bath with separate vanities and a walk-in closet with custom organizers and cabinets. Low-maintenance and high-style, the backyard reveals a loggia with built-in heaters, a fireplace and a built-in Viking BBQ bar and fridge. Award-winning schools, Oak Knoll Village Clubhouse, a sports park, neighborhood parks and vibrant shopping centers are minutes from home.
