About this property
Welcome home to this light and bright single-level gem, perfectly tucked into a serene setting in the heart of Mission Viejo. This single-level home feels less like a house and more like a private retreat. Between the sun-filled interior and the sprawling grounds that wrap around it, this is a property that's genuinely hard to leave. At approx. 1,560 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home strikes that rare balance of being spacious enough to spread out, yet cozy enough to feel like home. Mid-century ranch lines give it timeless character, while the neutral luxury vinyl flooring throughout keeps things fresh and ready to move right in. Natural light pours through the home, and the living room's high ceilings give it an airy, easygoing warmth that's felt as soon as you walk through the door. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2020 and is truly the heart of the home, featuring a large sit-at island, ample storage, new cabinetry, and gorgeous quartz counters. A gas range and stainless appliances round out the setup for anyone who loves to cook, and a French door leads to the courtyard/backyard — so indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The primary suite is complete with a full en-suite bath and double closets that offer plenty of room to stay organized. Windows frame the beautiful backyard and views beyond, so you wake up to the scenery that makes this home's outdoor spaces so special. The 3rd bedroom is a standout: complete with its own full bath, it has private access from the outside in addition to the interior entry, making that flexibility ideal. Other thoughtful touches include recently painted rooms, chair rails, wainscoting, custom baseboards, and updated vinyl windows throughout the home. The home was re-piped w/ PEX in 2020. Step outside, and the property truly comes into its own. A large, front courtyard was reimagined and sets the tone with a fire pit, ambient lighting, and landscaped grounds that blend vibrant greenery with drought-tolerant plantings, all supported by an efficient drip irrigation system. From there, a wrap-around yard leads you to a second patio and garden area, opening up to lovely views and an above-ground spa. Whether it's a quiet morning outside or hosting friends, this yard offers a different reason to enjoy it every day. Beyond the home itself, this address comes with access to Lake Mission Viejo. The location can't be beat with proximity to all your needs. This is a home where every day feels a little more special.
