At 8784 E Banner Ridge, some of the best moments happen outside. Dinner hot off the grill, friends gathered at the built-in bar, and quiet evenings sharing stories around the swanky gas firepit this is the kind of backyard that becomes part of everyday life. Mature landscaping creates privacy from surrounding homes, giving the covered patio, built-in BBQ, bar seating, and putting green a peaceful setting removed from the pace of Orange County life. The backyard stays connected to the rooms used most. From the kitchen sink, you can keep outdoor escapades in view, while the center island, gas cooktop, pantry, wine closet, and newly refaced cabinetry make the kitchen practical for daily life and entertaining. The adjoining dining nook has built-in bench seating with storage and opens to the casual living room, where updated lighting and a fireplace create a comfortable place to settle in. When the occasion calls for something more formal, the living and dining rooms offer dramatic ceilings, plantation shutters, and abundant natural light. The floor plan provides flexibility as life continues to change. A downstairs bedroom and full bath accommodate guests or extended family or serve as a private office away from the upstairs bedrooms. The nearby laundry room includes a utility sink, cabinetry, and direct access to the three-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite feels peaceful and private as calming tree views bring light and greenery into the room. The bath has its own sense of occasion: an elegant chandelier hangs above the spa tub, while the massive travertine-tiled shower is large enough to wash two St. Bernards with room to spare. A generous walk-in closet, newly refaced cabinetry, and updated lighting complete the suite. At the top of the stairs, a flexible room with glass double doors can become a second living area, office, or bedroom. It shares an updated bath with another bedroom, while a separate ensuite bedroom at the front of the home offers added privacy. Fresh interior paint, select new lighting, and newly painted exterior trim give the home a refreshed feel without taking away from its warmth. Running Springs Elementary is at the top of the street, Ronald Reagan Park is across Weir Canyon Road, and El Rancho Charter, Canyon High, and nearby hiking trails are all within easy reach. Here, everyday routines have room, guests have privacy, and the tranquil backyard offers a place to gather, entertain, or simply slow down.
