    What's special

    Situated on an idyllic interior street in the highly desirable Rancho Santa Margarita community of Melinda Heights, this spacious stunner is ready for you to move in and enjoy! The light and bright ground floor has been newly remodeled to feature stylish wood floors, refreshed neutral paint and moldings, plantation shutters, French doors, retractable screens, updated light fixtures, and more. The fully renovated and expanded chef's kitchen is outfitted with high end appliances, Pinterest worthy marble back splash coupled with elegant, yet durable, white quartz countertops, and new white cabinets throughout. A nook with bar storage and a temperature controlled wine refrigerator ensure you're ready for happy hour, the gas cooktop is a luxury the chef in your life will love, and the double oven provides year-round functionality (though you're sure to double down on appreciation come the holiday season). With a flexible and functional layout, the downstairs living space is open and flowing from the living room, to family room, to dining area, to breakfast bar, to the heart of the home in the kitchen. Via French doors from the dining area, enjoy a spacious and low upkeep backyard. The patio is covered with a newer alumowood pergola, affording shade and comfort while a large, flat grass area provides space for kids, pets and green thumbs alike! Continuing upstairs where new carpet has been installed throughout, enter the primary suite to be greeted by a spacious layout complete with sliding barn door to your en suite primary bath and walk in closet. 2 secondary bedrooms, a full hall bath and a spacious bonus room/4th bedroom create a place and space for everyone. The bonus/4th bedroom is approximately double the size of a 'regular' sized bedroom, providing a flexible space that could function as an upstairs living area, teen hangout, play room, home gym, home office, bedroom or otherwise. Last, but certainly not least, 3-car garage ensures a place and a space for everything. Conveniently located near shops, restaurants, award winning schools, Rancho Santa Margarita Lake, community parks, 241 fwy and more, lifestyle reigns supreme in this premier South Orange County community. Don't miss this one!!
