Elegant Monterey Model Home in the serene 55+ Casta Del Sol Community in the heart of Mission Viejo. This beautifully upgraded home offers 1,818 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space that blends style, comfort, and functionality. Discover the timeless appeal of the private brick porch and gracious entryway. Beyond the custom front door with a hidden retractable screen, a beautifully curated living room welcomes you with rich cherrywood flooring, detailed crown molding, recessed lighting, and classic plantation shutters. Expansive dual-pane windows fill the space with natural light, creating an airy ambiance. A formal dining area offers an inviting setting for refined entertaining. Head to the nicely appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a dual oven, and plenty of cabinetry. A dining space just off the kitchen offers a more casual spot for morning coffee or weeknight meals, and it opens seamlessly into the spacious family room. Originally designed as a 3-bedroom layout, this home was thoughtfully reconfigured to enhance flow. Converting it back is easy if you need the extra bedroom. You&#39'll find the spacious primary bedroom just down the hall, past the guest bath with a walk-in shower and a skylight. The primary features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and newer sliding glass doors that open to the private patio. The ensuite bath feels like a true retreat, with a dual sink vanity, a shower in a tub, and plenty of closet space. The expansive upstairs loft in this model offers plenty of flexibility with a small office nook overlooking the living room and a private bedroom complete with plenty of closet space and its ensuite bathroom. It’s the perfect spot for guests, extended family, or as an additional living space or workout room. Enjoy outside the newer sliding glass doors to the quiet and private spacious inlaid brick patio — a perfect outdoor retreat for alfresco dining or simply relaxing under the newer retractable awning. You’ll also enjoy a charming peek-a-boo view, adding to the home’s serene atmosphere. The finished garage features ample storage, epoxy flooring, and a pull-down attic access, providing a spacious area for plenty of storage. Additional upgrades include a well-maintained HVAC system, water heater, and rain gutters. Enjoy all that Lake Mission Viejo membership offers, including access to boating, swimming, and year-round special entertainment events.
