About This Property

Welcome Home to 25181 Barents — A Refined Retreat in the Heart of Laguna Hills Tucked into one of South Orange County's most coveted neighborhoods, this beautifully upgraded residence pairs timeless style with everyday comfort. Professionally remodeled landscaping and fresh interior and exterior paint give the home a crisp, welcoming presence from the curb. Enter through elegant double doors into a light-filled formal living and dining room featuring newer vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, crown molding, oversized baseboards, and a classic fireplace. The open-concept kitchen is built for entertaining and easy weeknight living, with new appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a generous center island with bar seating, and sliding doors to the backyard. The flexible floor plan is a standout. Downstairs offers a sought-after main-floor bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests and multi-generational living — plus an additional room with full-wall custom cabinets, perfect for a home office, media room, or playroom. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include an expansive primary suite with its own cozy fireplace and a private patio showcasing sweeping neighborhood views. Major recent upgrades give this home rare peace of mind: new HVAC system, new airflow-engineered ductwork, full PEX repipe, new electrical panel, custom cabinets, newer windows, and remodeled bathrooms. Additional features include custom California closets, a dedicated pantry, drinking water filtration, and a roomy 3-car garage with ample space above — excellent potential for a future ADU, an increasingly valuable opportunity in Orange County. Leased solar with the grandfathered NEM-2 agreement delivers lower energy bills — a benefit no longer available to new solar installations in California. Outside, the private backyard is a true Southern California sanctuary, with mature landscaping. Add to all of this what every Orange County buyer wants to hear: No HOA. No Mello Roos. A rare combination in this area that reduces ownership costs. The location is exceptional, a commuter’s dream just minutes from Irvine, award-winning schools, parks, trails, shopping, and dining, with Laguna, Dana Point, and Newport beaches nearby. Easy access to the I-5 and toll roads makes commuting across Orange County effortless. Refined, upgraded, energy-smart, and perfectly positioned. Schedule your private tour today — this one won't last.
