Get ready to fall in love with the view — and the lifestyle — you've been dreaming of! Perched on a gentle rise in Mission Viejo, this charming single-story home delivers jaw-dropping panoramic views of mountains, city lights, and rooftops that stretch for miles. Light, bright, and filled with good energy, it’s been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 20 years — and now it’s ready for a new chapter.
Step inside to a wide, welcoming foyer that leads into a living room designed to take full advantage of the scenery. A full wall of glass sliding doors fills the space with sunshine and frames the view like a piece of art. Fresh new wood-look flooring and high ceilings add to the airy, open feel.
The kitchen serves up style and warmth, featuring granite countertops, rich cabinetry, and a bay window that turns dish duty into a scenic experience. The adjacent dining area is full of natural light, with sliding glass access to the side yard for effortless indoor-outdoor living — perfect for sunny California days.
The primary suite is a true retreat, offering more gorgeous views and direct access to the backyard. The en-suite bathroom has been remodeled with a sleek new vanity and fresh, modern touches. Two more bedrooms (one being oversized), give you space for a home office, gym, or cozy den. An updated hall bath keeps the relaxed, stylish vibe going.
Out back, your private oasis is ready and waiting. Lounge under the covered patio, kick back on the lush lawn, or simply soak in the view that never gets old. With low-maintenance landscaping and plenty of room to entertain, this backyard is built for easy living and unforgettable moments.
Additional highlights include EV charging, smart updates throughout and indoor laundry to make everyday living even better.
Bonus: Ownership includes membership to Lake Mission Viejo — where you can enjoy beaches, boating, concerts, and tons of summer fun just minutes from home!
Located close to parks, trails, shopping, dining, and vibrant community events, this home offers the perfect mix of peaceful living and active lifestyle. Panoramic views, a warm and welcoming vibe, and one of Mission Viejo’s best-kept secrets — don’t miss your chance to make it yours!
