Highly upgraded and exceptionally maintained, this single-story Murrieta home sits in the desirable Mapleton community on a peaceful cul-de-sac with no homes directly behind. Enjoy sunrise views and a private resort-style backyard designed for entertaining and relaxation. The open-concept floor plan features tile flooring throughout most living areas, with the spacious primary suite on one side and three additional bedrooms plus two full baths on the other. Families will appreciate the convenient location, with Oak Meadows Elementary and Mapleton Park just a short walk away. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream, with a sparkling pool featuring two waterfalls, an oversized spa with its own waterfall, and a rare 8-foot-deep section. Adjacent is a tranquil koi pond/water garden with another waterfall. Please note: the koi fish have been removed prior to sale. The Alumawood patio includes lighting and ceiling fans, while the palapa-style entertaining area offers a built-in bar, grill, and refrigerator. The home includes more than $150,000 in recent improvements, including a fully paid-off 50-panel solar system with a SolarEdge backup battery. The battery can provide up to about 12 hours of backup power on three dedicated circuits, keeping essentials such as the refrigerator, kitchen island, internet, and primary bathroom operational. It can also be used in the evening to run on stored solar energy and reduce grid reliance. Additional upgrades include an upgraded HVAC system, custom garage doors, garage mini-split, epoxy garage flooring, 220V garage outlet, custom front security door, new screens, new vinyl fencing, Level 2 EV charger, and recently purchased Samsung Bespoke appliances plus an LG washer and dryer. An 85-inch Sony TV and surround-sound system serve the living room and pool area. The location is especially convenient for healthcare professionals, with Kaiser within walking distance and major hospitals minutes away. Shopping, dining, wine country, recreation, beaches, Big Bear, and nearby airports are all easily accessible. This home offers upgraded living, resort-style amenities, energy efficiency, backup power, privacy, and an outstanding Southern California location.
