Quail Hill’s Slickly Packaged Detached Home
67 Coriander Drive $915,888
Exiting the 405 Freeway heading toward Quail Hill, I thought of the many other properties that I had seen there. This area is known for natural park like surroundings, snug but sleekly done homes, and a unique upscale contained community. The detached condo at 67 Coriander fits Quail Hill perfectly. You just have to decide how it fits your priorities.
At the end of the street, a great hill for climbing dominates the skyline and way off in the distance I could see a climber making his way up the hill. That climb and that atmosphere is central to Quail Hill.
Significant Numbers: This four bedroom, two and a half bath detached home was built in 2003. On the market about 15 days, the 2,000 sq. ft. lot sits on a 3,500 sq. ft. lot. HOA dues are $167 with $/$458 sq. ft. There is Mello Roos tax.
CloseUp. Stepping into this sleekly crafted home, space is ample, but not abundant, and every inch has been detailed, polished, and beautifully executed. The show quality is exceptional. You just have to decide if the experience matches the price and your priorities.
Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the house, starting with the entry and leading to an airy living room on the left. To the right, carpeted steps take you to the master suite, 3 other bedrooms and 2 baths.
Upstairs, the 3 bedrooms and master suite with balcony all flow off a main hallway with the master bath including a windowed tub area and striking stone accent wall. The master suite also has a walk in closet and there is inside laundry on the upper level.
Downstairs, the big room concept is nicely done with the dining area, family room and kitchen all blending and then leading to a good sized private yard. Outside there is a lush green yard plus side driveway with room to park leading to the double garage.
The open floor plan works well with the hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and many windows. The family room with fireplace and the open kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters and breakfast bar blend nicely with the windowed dining area. It is easy to see lots of parties and family activities unfolding here.

Who will move in? An active family looking for great schools and great outdoor resources will easily be at home here. Someone looking for freeway access, closeness to Laguna and neighboring beaches, and a separate park like community with exceptional hiking and nature trails will choose this home.
