Welcome home to this stunning property in highly sought after Rancho Santa Margarita! This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has a light, bright and open floor plan with an additional loft-style living space. The kitchen was recently remodeled with gleaming honed granite countertops and high-end Carrara marble backsplash, and has an island that is perfect for entertaining. Other specialty features include a silgranit sink, custom cabinetry, and newer stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens up to both living and dining spaces with refinished wood floors, marble fireplace, a half bath powder room, and views for days of the gorgeous backyard and mountain skyline. Upstairs you will find a separate laundry room with a sink, an updated full bath, and a fantastic den which can be used as additional living space, game room, office, or converted into a 4th bedroom. All bedrooms are spacious with ample closet storage space and wood laminate flooring. The master en-suite is incredible with huge windows, and a giant walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. The bathroom has a double vanity, a private toilet closet, a stand-alone shower and separate soaking tub. The backyard is amazing and is one of the largest in the complex, and has a fantastic outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and running hot/cold water. Other specialty features include an attached 2 car garage with epoxy flooring and high end cabinets, 2 additional driveway parking spots, direct garage to home access, recessed lighting, central air and heat controlled by an Ecobee smart thermostat, and a newer water heater. Steps away from a Seacountry community pool and Tijeras Canyon Trail, and also a part of the Las Flores Association which has a community pool, tennis courts, sports park, and year-round community events, this home will not last long!
