THE PROPERTY
Get to know the property.
This is the ONE! A rare, expansive wrap-around private patio - your own outdoor sanctuary framed by a brick-and-stone planter wall, with a separate gated entrance to the backyard. Room to lounge, entertain, and unwind in complete serenity, with far more private outdoor living space than many in the community. — this home has been renovated top to bottom, and the numbers speak for themselves.
Downstairs, a bedroom suite with its own full bath and laundry opens directly onto that show-stopping patio - perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. The kitchen has been fully reimagined with a Bosch 800 Series dishwasher, Samsung smart refrigerator and oven, quartz countertops, and recessed lighting. PLUS a whole-house Filtersorb Puragain water filtration system with a 6-stage alkaline drinking water tap. Every bathroom has been upgraded with sleek, low-flush, single-piece toilets to custom counters with molded sinks!
Upstairs, two stunning primary suites deliver rare flexibility: the first with high ceilings, a closet with custom doors, a custom made shoe closet w/ separate spaces and a spa-like renovated walk-in shower that is a fully tiled European rain shower. Shower and Toilet are separated by a custom barn door. The primary bath also features custom double vanity, and smart mirrors. The second Primary features vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet, its own bath/shower.
The upgrades don't stop there: New luxury lighting throughout, a newer HVAC system, an automatic sprinkler system, a fully installed garage EV charger, and a whole-home Vivint security system — cameras, sensors, and glass-break detection, equipment (paid for).
The HOA has just repainted the exterior, repaved the roads, and replaced the garage doors — the whole community is looking sharp. Step outside your door and into SAMLARC living at its best: 13 parks, sport courts, hiking and biking trails, Saddleback Mountain views, and the beach club at Lake Rancho Santa Margarita. Zoned for award-winning Melinda Heights Elementary and Trabuco Hills High, with shopping and dining just minutes away. No Mello-Roos.
Turnkey. Upgraded top to bottom. This is the one you've been waiting for. New HOA Statement for 2026-2027: HOA FEES REMAIN UNCHANGED!!!
