Description
There are backyards, and then there are backyards that took decades to become what they are. This is the second kind. 10 varieties of plumeria trees in full bloom, towering palms, banana trees, a working orchard of avocado, mango, apple, peach, and citrus…all mature, established, and irreplaceable. At the center of it, a freeform pool with attached spa and natural boulder water feature, set within a sweeping stamped concrete patio that stretches further than you expect on this expansive 9127 sq ft lot. Situated on a premium, single loaded corner lot in one of Mission Viejo's most established neighborhoods, the approach to this single-story home announces itself with a lush tropical front yard, manicured lawn, mature palms, and a charming covered entry. Step inside and the single level layout opens immediately with a great room anchored by vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace, and wide-plank flooring throughout the main living areas. Recessed lighting, fresh interior paint, and dual-pane windows add to the light-filled feel. A wall of sliding glass doors connects the living space directly to the patio and pool, creating the indoor-outdoor flow that defines Southern California living at its finest. The kitchen anchors the heart of the open floor plan, redesigned with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island with gas cooktop and stainless range hood, electric ovens, and a farmhouse sink framed by a window looking out to the yard - an ideal vantage point to watch kids play or simply enjoy the view. A built-in buffet with tile backsplash compliments the adjacent dining area. The primary suite offers a direct access to the lush, tropical backyard, vaulted ceilings, ceiling fan, and walk-in closet. 2 additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and bright, sharing a refreshed hall bath with quartz counters, matte black fixtures, and subway tile tub-shower with glass enclosure. From the moment you arrive, you feel that this is a home that rewards the buyer who understands what cannot be built overnight. Mornings start with coffee by the pool and fruit from your own trees. Afternoons at Lake Mission Viejo with private beaches, boating, fishing, and summer concerts. Evenings with the sliders open and plumeria in the air. Served by Montevideo Elementary, La Paz Intermediate, and Mission Viejo High School within Saddleback Valley Unified, and minutes from premier shopping, dining, and freeway access. This is not just a place to live, it is a way to live.
