Set on a corner lot with beautiful sunset views, 31 Garcilla brings together cottage charm, farmhouse style and effortless indoor and outdoor living. Built by CalAtlantic, this turnkey detached single story home in Iris at Esencia welcomes you with light filled interiors and inviting outdoor spaces, all within Rancho Mission Viejo’s Gavilán 55+ community. A gorgeous vaulted, paneled ceiling with an exposed beam defines the great room, where built in media cabinetry adds character and wide sliding glass doors open to the covered California room. The open kitchen brings everyone together around a generous island, with white Shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop and built in oven and microwave. Crown molding, recessed lighting and ceiling fans complement the home’s warm, thoughtfully finished interiors. Two bedroom suites and an open bonus room provide flexibility for guests, a home office or a quiet reading retreat. The primary suite offers a peaceful place to unwind, with a walk in closet and a spacious bath featuring dual sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. Brilliant touchscreen lighting controls, a Nest thermostat, ceiling speakers, a separate laundry room with cabinetry and an attached two car garage with direct access add everyday comfort. Outside, the covered California room sets the scene for morning coffee and leisurely meals, while the outdoor kitchen with a built in barbecue makes entertaining a pleasure. Gather beside the outdoor fireplace as the sky changes color, or slip into the private inground spa for a quiet evening beneath the stars. Garden planting, covered and open patios and views across the hills create distinct places to dine, relax and enjoy the sunset. This is a home for quiet mornings, memorable evenings and the simple pleasure of being together. Residents enjoy Gavilán’s exclusive 55+ amenities and shared Rancho Mission Viejo amenities, including pools, fitness facilities, pickleball, tennis, bocce courts and gathering spaces. Walking and biking trails and designated neighborhood electric vehicle pathways connect the villages. Nearby dining, wine tasting, Gelson’s, medical offices and urgent care add convenience. Planned Esencia Commons, anticipated in mid 2027, will bring approximately 175,000 square feet of shopping, dining and entertainment, with a fitness center also planned.
