Nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Rancho Santa Margarita, this beautifully upgraded 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. With 1,870 sq ft of living space on a 4,000 sq ft lot, this two-story home backs to serene views of Arroyo and Santiago Peak with no neighbors in front or behind—a rare and private setting that feels like nature in the middle of SoCal. Step inside to a light-filled open layout featuring cathedral ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and tasteful upgrades throughout. The ground floor boasts a remodeled fireplace area, minor kitchen enhancements, and the removal of dividing walls to create a seamless flow from the entry to the kitchen. Upstairs, both bathrooms were remodeled in September 2022, and the master suite has been opened up visually by removing a retaining wall—allowing natural light and expansive views to pour in. Enjoy evenings in the tranquil backyard, complete with synthetic grass, a sweet Meyer lemon tree, and a backdrop of mature trees that offer a peaceful, natural vibe. The front yard has also been freshly landscaped for added curb appeal. This beautiful home is also just steps from Arroyo Park & Pool! Some of Samlarc's amenities include, a pool and spa, tennis courts, BBQs, clubhouse, fire pits, and more. Walk to shopping, parks, and Lake Mission Viejo—with top-rated schools nearby.
