Welcome to 28 Tierra Montanosa, an end-unit showplace in the highly sought-after Melinda Heights community of Rancho Santa Margarita. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create a spacious, modern feel throughout this COMPLETELY remodeled home.
The kitchen is a designer’s dream — featuring quartz countertops, custom full-height cabinetry, new appliances, and stylish finishes that flow seamlessly into the open-concept living and dining areas. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded: new flooring, lighting, interior paint, plantation shutters, and PEX REPIPE for both hot and cold water lines (NOT ALL UNITS HAVE BEEN PEX REPIPED!! THIS ONE HAS!).
The downstairs bathroom features a beautiful walk-in shower, while upstairs offers two spacious bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and walk-in closet. Step outside to your wrap-around private patio, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying tranquil California evenings — a rare find in this community!
Additional highlights include a large two-car attached garage, ONE additional parking space across from condo, a newer water heater, and close proximity to two neighborhood pools and parks. As part of SAMLARC, residents enjoy access to 13 community parks and pools, nearby hiking and biking trails, and top-rated California Distinguished schools.
Minutes from award-winning restaurants, shopping, and freeway access, this home combines luxury, comfort, and lifestyle in one perfect package. Welcome Home!
