Property Description

Set on a serene, tree-lined street in the heart of Mission Viejo, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bath home spans 1,820 square feet of bright, welcoming living space where sophisticated comfort and everyday style share equal billing. An inviting entry foyer opens to an expansive, open-concept floor plan, where abundant natural light pours across warm plank flooring and airy ceilings enhance the sense of spaciousness. The living area centers on a handsome fireplace, offering the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings or lively evenings with friends. Just beyond, the kitchen impresses with crisp cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, a tasteful tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances that make cooking feel effortless. The primary retreat serves as a restful escape, complete with a private ensuite bath dressed in modern finishes and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide great flexibility for family, guests, or an executive work-from-home setup, sharing a beautifully appointed full bath. Recessed lighting, contemporary fixtures, and central air and heat carry a polished, move-in-ready feel throughout. Step outside to a generous backyard framing picturesque views of the rolling canyons, ready for weekend barbecues, gardening, or quiet evenings under the stars. The location delivers the ultimate South Orange County lifestyle. Mission Viejo is celebrated for its pristine safety record, beautifully landscaped streetscapes, and friendly neighborhood vibe. You are moments from high-end retail at The Shops at Mission Viejo, gourmet shopping at Pavilions, and the expansive green fields of Cox Sports Park. Commuters will love the quick access to the nearby Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo train station and major freeways, while families value the proximity to top-tier schools like Capistrano Valley High School. Best of all, ownership includes full access to Lake Mission Viejo. This private community oasis offers sandy beaches, swimming, boat rentals, and summer concerts. Plus, you’re just a short drive from the world-class beaches of Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente, making this the perfect place to call home. This is the one!
