Over $187,224 IN UPGRADES, PAID SOLAR, and RESORT-STYLE LIVING in one of Rancho Mission Viejo’s most sought-after new communities make this home an exceptional opportunity.

This nearly new 3-bedroom, plus a loft, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,065 square feet of beautifully designed living space on a RARE OVERSIZED LOT, delivering both comfort and privacy. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, where quartz countertops, a custom backsplash, an oversized island, stainless steel appliances with gas range and griddle, and UPGRADED KITCHEN CABINETS extending to the ceiling create a sleek and elevated design. Energy-efficient features including PAID SOLAR, a tankless water heater, and a whole-house fan provide long-term savings, while SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY such as a Ring doorbell, smart thermostat, and smart light switches enhance daily convenience. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers flexible living space, and the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a CUSTOM BUILT-IN WALK IN CLOSET, UPGRADED PRIMARY BATHROOM with dual sinks and quartz counters, a dedicated vanity, and an upgraded frameless walk-in shower. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, CUSTOM WINDOW COVERINGS such as plantation shutters and electronic blinds, and custom paint further elevate the interior.
