Prime Pacific Hills Location with Spacious Floorplan and Expansive Private Yard. Set on a larger lot along a desirable single-loaded street, this exceptional Pacific Hills residence enjoys peaceful greenbelt views in front and tranquil treetop scenery--with peekaboo glimpses of Saddleback Mountain--at the back. The sought-after North/South orientation helps keep the home naturally cooler on warm summer days. The terraced street design provides generous spacing between homes, creating a wonderful sense of openness and privacy. Additional highlights include Epoxy Coated piping and a convenient downstairs bedroom suite with its own private bath. Double entry doors open to a dramatic two-story foyer that steps down to the formal living and dining rooms. Sunlight fills these elegant spaces through numerous windows that frame views of the lush yard and gardens. The bright, open-concept kitchen flows easily to a spacious casual dining area and inviting family room with a fireplace and built-in bar--perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family. A peninsula adds extra seating for informal dining or gathering. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a private sitting area, view balcony, dual closets (including a walk-in), and a well-appointed ensuite featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual-sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms and a versatile loft with closet--ideal as an office, playroom, or optional fifth bedroom--share a full hall bath with dual sinks and a tub/shower combination. Recent updates include fresh interior paint and carpet, engineered hardwood flooring, and a remodeled kitchen with upgraded cabinetry featuring lighted glass display shelving and granite countertops. Plantation shutters accent select windows throughout, adding timeless appeal. Outdoors, the backyard is a gardener's delight, offering a generous lawn, mature citrus and apple trees, and multiple planter areas. A cement pad awaits a future fountain or custom feature, while the covered patio provides a shaded spot for alfresco dining and relaxation. With plenty of room to gather, play, and enjoy the outdoors, it's ideal for children, pets, and entertaining alike. Located within walking distance of Newhart Middle School, the Norman P. Murray Community Center, local shops, restaurants, and the scenic Oso Creek Trail, this home also includes membership to Lake Mission Viejo, offering boating, beaches, lakeside concerts, and year-round recreation.
