About this home
Located inside a secluded gated community in Rancho Santa Margarita and just steps from award-winning schools, this beautifully upgraded home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and everyday convenience. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by upgraded tile flooring that flows throughout the home, along with a formal living room and formal dining room that create an elegant first impression. The recessed ceiling detail with crown molding adds a refined touch, giving the main living areas a more elevated and custom feel. The heart of the home is the open kitchen, designed to connect seamlessly with the breakfast nook and family room. The kitchen features a large center island with a farmhouse sink, built-in stainless steel cooktop with upgraded hood, stainless steel double ovens, dishwasher, expansive counter space, wine refrigerator, and cabinetry finished with upgraded hardware. Just off the kitchen, the spacious family room offers a warm and functional setting with a built-in speaker system and custom entertainment center. One of the standout features of the floor plan is the large main-floor bedroom with direct access to a full bathroom. This creates an ideal setup for guests, extended family, a private office, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional secondary bedrooms, a small loft area with built-in storage, and a unique office space that adds even more flexibility. The expansive primary suite has a lot to offer, including a primary retreat complete with functional built-ins, a cozy sitting area with fireplace, and a spacious primary bathroom with a large walk-in closet. The backyard is designed for privacy and relaxation, backing to a slope with no rear neighbor. New vinyl fencing surrounds the yard, while the spa, built-in BBQ with new burners, and built-in gas fire pit create a comfortable outdoor setting for unwinding or entertaining year-round. To top it all off, the home includes a fully paid 32-panel solar system and a whole house fan, helping keep energy costs down.
