Experience the perfect blend of space and serenity in this nearly 1,800-square-foot single-level home, offered for the first time by its original owner. This meticulously maintained residence features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a 4th bedroom currently serving as a versatile flex room. The interior boasts a fresh coat of paint, energy-efficient double-paned windows, and the modern convenience of a tankless water heater. Designed for accessibility and flow, the floor plan features no interior steps and is outfitted with ceiling fans throughout for year-round comfort. The expansive primary suite is a true highlight, offering a spacious walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, and a large retreat area that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. Situated on a generous 8,250-square-foot lot, the outdoor living space is second to none with lush landscaping, a private side patio, and a backyard featuring a covered patio area perfect for entertaining. For the ultimate escape, enjoy the luxury of your own private in-ground hot tub. This rare Mission Viejo opportunity combines pride of ownership with a layout designed for longevity. While currently enjoying no HOA, the lucky buyer has the unique opportunity to join the Lake Mission Viejo Association to enjoy exclusive access to private beaches, seasonal concerts, and year-round boating and fishing. Plus, this home is zoned for the award-winning schools of Saddleback Valley Unified School District.
