Step into the welcoming embrace of this beautiful single-story home in Mission Viejo's coveted El Dorado tract. Nestled on a generous corner lot of over 8,000 square feet, this residence boasts a well-manicured front yard and a backyard oasis adorned with mature fruit trees and herbs. A custom double-arm gate secures the expansive RV and boat parking, leaving room for a potential pool.
Through the double door entry, discover an open and spacious floor plan. The remodeled kitchen is a culinary haven with granite counters, travertine floors, custom maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a large pantry. The family room, adorned with a cozy brick fireplace, seamlessly connects to an outdoor Lanai room—an ideal space for entertaining or simply savoring a morning cup of coffee.
The home features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each adorned with custom upgrades. The master bedroom exudes warmth, complemented by a sizable closet and a master bathroom featuring thoughtful enhancements. The second bedroom boasts an en-suite bathroom with a remodeled vanity and shower.
Luxury touches abound, from vaulted ceilings to travertine and luxury vinyl flooring. Recent upgrades include a newer garage door and a TESLA electric car charging station. Enjoy the convenience of a low tax rate and the absence of a homeowners association.
Beyond the property, relish in the proximity to Lake Mission Viejo and the nationally recognized sports programs at Mission Viejo High School. The location provides easy access to the freeway, shopping, parks, trails, and is within walking distance to elementary schools and junior high.
This residence is more than a home; it's a gem waiting to be discovered. Don't miss the opportunity—schedule your visit before it's gone!
