16 Citadel Dr, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656

Welcome to this bright and spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner/end-unit loft-style townhome in the highly desirable Vantis community of Aliso Viejo. Offering approximately 1,400 sq. ft. across three levels, this home combines an open, airy interior with a convenient and private location. The main living level features dramatic 19-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, beautiful wood flooring, and a gas fireplace. The open-concept living and dining area extends to a private balcony, while the kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and generous cabinet space. Also located on this level are the second bedroom, a full bathroom, and a separate laundry room with washer and dryer. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite occupies its own level, creating a private retreat separate from the main living area. The suite includes an additional sitting or work-from-home area, a large walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom with dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The ground level offers direct access to an attached two-car side-by-side garage more convenient than the tandem parking found in many neighboring homes with additional storage provided by overhead garage racks. The home also includes integrated smart-home features, including smart lighting and switches, a smart thermostat, and smart doorbell, along with a Toto Washlet for added comfort and convenience. Ideally positioned within Vantis, this end-unit home enjoys greater separation from neighboring buildings than many residences in the community. Rather than being closely surrounded by other homes, landscaped green space and parking areas create a more open, private feel. The fitness center, and resort-style pool and spa are also just steps away. Residents enjoy access to The Club at Vantis, featuring a fitness center, resort-style pool and spa with cabanas, billiards room, shared meeting and workspace area, BBQ areas, and outdoor fireplaces. Beyond The Club, the beautifully maintained community features landscaped gardens, scenic walking paths, parks, and outdoor seating areas. One of the best features of living at Vantis is its walkable location. Aliso Viejo Town Center, Grand Park, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, a movie theater, the weekly farmers market, and multiple grocery stores including Ralphs, Trader Joe's, and 99 Ranch Market are all nearby. The area is also served by highly regarded public schools and offers convenient access to the 73 Toll Road, local hiking trails, and the scenic beaches and attractions of Laguna Beach and South Orange County. With soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, added privacy, a private primary level, side-by-side two-car garage, and extensive community amenities, this home offers a rare combination of space, comfort, and convenience in a highly walkable Aliso Viejo location. 12-month lease preferred. Tenant responsible for all utilities, including water and trash. No pets. No smoking. Renters insurance required. Tenant must comply with Vantis HOA/community rules.
