This delightful four-bedroom + loft home is located on a premium corner lot along a single-loaded street, right across from the picturesque canyons and hills of beautiful Rancho Santa Margarita. Step into the warm and inviting open-concept living space, ideal for hosting friends and family, featuring a spacious living room with an entertainment alcove and a convenient half bath. The light-filled country kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a farmhouse-style stainless steel sink, white appliances, custom-tiled backsplash, a center island with added storage, and a sunny dining ell that opens to the beautifully landscaped backyard and dual patios. An individual laundry room just off the kitchen adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, a large open loft offers the perfect flex space for a home office, playroom, or media lounge. The serene primary suite features large windows that flood the room with natural light, a designer ceiling fan, and an en-suite bathroom complete with dual vanities, a luxurious soaking tub, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a wall-mounted A/C unit, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, each with mirrored wardrobes and ceiling fans, share a full hall bath. As a unique bonus, the two-car garage has been converted into a spectacular generational room, which offers spacious private guest accommodations with a three-quarter bathroom, ceiling fan, A/C unit, its own water heater, carpeting, and direct backyard access. This room can be converted back to a garage, if preferred. Other features include a security front door screen, plantation shutters, oakwood and tile flooring, crown molding, textured ceilings and interior ceiling sprinklers. Outdoors, unwind in your private sanctuary, landscaped with roses, star jasmine, and mature greenery. Enjoy two covered patios—one with a ceiling fan and hill views—perfect for morning coffee or twilight gatherings, and the other just off the kitchen. An extra-large driveway provides room for multiple vehicles. Explore scenic hiking and biking trails just outside your door and take advantage of the many amenities Rancho Santa Margarita has to offer, including pools, clubhouse, banquet facilities, outdoor cooking and picnic areas, playground, beach club, concerts in the park, shopping, dining, entertainment, top-rated schools and more! No Mello Roos and only one low monthly HOA! Better hurry on this one!
