2 Michael RD Ladera Ranch, CA 92694

Quintessentially American in style, this luxurious New England Colonial residence in the guard-gated enclave of Covenant Hills at Ladera Ranch captures timeless elegance and enhances it with a host of new upgrades and refinements. Graced with handsome brick hardscaping, a covered porch that runs its width, and a leaded-glass entry door, the home is located on a cul-de-sac with only one direct neighbor and surrounded by open space and trails. Extensive brickwork continues in a refined backyard that reveals a pool, spa, a custom fireplace and a built-in barbecue. Approximately 8,000 square feet, the homesite also includes a side patio for dining and a long driveway with porte cochere. Interiors rival fine custom estates thanks to gorgeous upgrades including crown molding, wood flooring, custom lighting, wainscoting, plantation shutters, stately fireplaces, custom paint and wall treatments, picture-frame mirrors, and top-tier tilework. Enjoy a sophisticated living room with a bay window, fireplace and custom built-ins; a formal dining room with built-in cabinetry and French doors opening to a covered patio; and a family room that opens to the backyard and displays a fireplace with raised hearth and a built-in entertainment center with surround sound. Certain to impress even the most demanding chefs, a new gourmet kitchen is characterized by stone countertops, new white cabinetry, an island, pantry, subway-tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances including a built-in refrigerator and a cooktop with pot-filler. Approximately 4,000 square feet, the spacious floorplan boasts five large ensuite bedrooms with outdoor access and five- and one-half baths of uncompromising style. The primary suite is truly grand, with a tray ceiling, built-in cabinetry, separate vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower and a sit-down vanity. A rooftop solar array powers the residence, which is close to Ladera Ranch’s many parks, excellent schools and shopping centers.
