Whether it’s panoramic sunsets over the hills or dazzling city lights at night, this end-of-cul-de-sac home on a quarter-acre lot truly delivers. Welcome to 16123 Setting Sun Circle in Riverside’s prestigious foothill community of Lake Hills, where this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 1,982 SqFt solar home is designed to take full advantage of its west-facing backyard and incredible views. Step outside and you’ll quickly see why this property stands out. The backyard feels like a private retreat with a putting green, tropical landscaping, and fruit trees including red grapefruit, lemon, lime, pomegranate, peach, and calamondin. A gazebo-covered 11-person swim spa invites you to relax while watching the sunset, while SmartHome-enabled landscape lighting transforms the yard into a dramatic nighttime setting overlooking the city lights. Artificial grass keeps maintenance low, and spacious seating areas with a custom BBQ island and ceiling fans make entertaining effortless. Inside, soaring two-story ceilings welcome you into the Family Room with the Dining Room nearby. The kitchen features quartz counters, white shaker cabinets, white tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (REFRIGERATOR INCLUDED!), and a fireplace-warmed dining area. Plantation shutters and warm laminate flooring add style throughout the main level. Upstairs is fully carpeted and offers a versatile loft, two secondary bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and a convenient laundry area (WASHER & DRYER INCLUDED!). The Primary Suite features dual sinks, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Just outside, a large private balcony built with Trex and pressure-treated lumber and topped with an Alumawood cover provides a durable and fire-resistant vantage point to soak in those remarkable views. Below the balcony is the custom BBQ and additional lounge areas with ceiling fans for cooling. A fountain, lush landscaping, and two outdoor sheds complete the backyard retreat. The home also features recent interior paint, a 2-car garage with tankless water heater, and leased solar. Set within the scenic hills of Lake Hills, residents enjoy open space, Lake Hills Elementary, parks, playgrounds, picnic areas, a basketball half-court, HOA-maintained grounds, and evening security patrol. Commuters will appreciate easy access to the 91 Freeway and Metrolink. Homes with views like this, outdoor living like this, and a lot this size RARELY come along and you really need to experience it to understand why.
