Welcome to this stunning, move-in-ready three-bedroom home in the heart of Rancho Santa Margarita, one of Orange County’s most sought-after communities. Freshly painted inside, this home gleams with pride of ownership and feels instantly welcoming the moment you step through the door. Bathed in natural light from oversized dual pane windows and soaring ceilings, the home is bright, airy, and impeccably clean. The popular floor plan flows effortlessly: a formal living room and dining room set the stage for elegant entertaining, while the upgraded wrap around kitchen featuring sleek granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, opens directly into a separate family room and nook overlooking the backyard. Kitchen with wrap around counter space allows you to have more STORAGE cabinets and wine chiller.
Upstairs, the spacious secondary bedrooms offer plenty of room for family, guests, or a home office. The star of the show is the master suite, complete with a large walk-in closet, a private balcony overlooking the iconic Saddleback Mountains, and master bathroom boasting a dual vanity with granite counters.
Step outside to the private backyard with beautiful succulent garden created by the owner and with no homes behind you, the setting feels open. The large patio includes a generous covered area tucked beneath the master balcony ideal for year-round entertaining, morning coffee with mountain views, or sunset dinners under the stars.
This property sits within the prestigious SAMLARC community, giving you exclusive access to an incredible array of resort-style amenities: multiple parks, sparkling pool and spa, sport courts, tennis courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and even private beach club privileges right by the lake. Rancho Santa Margarita delivers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and convenient access to top-rated schools, shopping, dining, employment and freeway access making it one of the desirable places to call home.
