About this home

Tucked at the end of a quiet circle in Placentia’s Mariposa community, 159 Los Alamitos Circle feels like the kind of place where evenings slow down, neighbors wave, and coming home truly feels restful. Pull up and you’ll notice something rare for the neighborhood: one of the largest lots in the community, set on a cul-de-sac, plus a two-car garage with plenty of extra storage just steps away. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom with the upgrades today’s buyers want. The remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite counters, newer white cabinetry, a new gas stove, and a new microwave. Recessed lighting, fresh paint, custom light fixtures, updated luxury plank flooring, newer windows and slider doors, and new carpet upstairs set the tone for both casual nights in and weekend get-togethers. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with two separate closets, gorgeous vaulted ceilings, and a viewing balcony for morning coffee. Peek-a-boo views include city lights, mountain moments, and even Disneyland fireworks lighting up the night sky just off the primary bedroom. The second and third bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and a second full bathroom upstairs sits conveniently next to both bedrooms. Outside, the curb appeal shines with an upgraded stucco exterior and beautifully landscaped front and back yards, complete with new lanterns and lighting that makes evenings outdoors feel extra special. When you’re ready to enjoy the neighborhood, community amenities include two swimming pools, two spas, and a tennis court. Add in the pride of ownership throughout, a welcoming community feel, and convenient access to nearby schools, daily essentials, and commuter routes, and you’ve got a home ready for its next chapter.
