2261 Papaya Drive

Tucked away in the hills of La Habra Heights, this is the kind of home that makes you forget you’re still in Southern California. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and incredible views stretching all the way toward Long Beach and Catalina Island on a clear day, this home is all about slowing down and enjoying the scenery. Start your morning in the kitchen looking out over the hills, spend the afternoon surrounded by colorful bougainvillea, birds of paradise, plumeria, succulents and mature avocado trees, then finish the day in the hot tub watching the sunset from the expansive backyard deck. Not bad, right? Inside, soaring ceilings, spacious bedrooms, generous closets, fresh paint and warm laminate flooring create a comfortable, move-in-ready feel while the classic kitchen fits perfectly with the home's relaxed character. Outside feels like your own private hideaway, with lush, low-maintenance landscaping, birds singing and more than 180 degrees of beautiful views. There’s also a detached 2-car garage, tankless water heater, attic fan and water softener for added comfort and convenience. And when you feel like leaving your little slice of paradise, Hacienda Golf Club and everyday shopping and dining are just minutes away. Even better, the sellers are open to including much of the furniture and appliances upon request. Come for the views, stay for the hot tub—and you may never want to leave.
