About This Home

Set on a friendly street in the heart of Mission Viejo, this thoughtfully updated three-bedroom, two-bath home spans 1,820 square feet of bright, welcoming living space where comfort and style share equal billing. An inviting entry gives way to open-concept living, where sunlight pours across warm plank flooring and airy ceilings lend a sense of spaciousness. The living area centers on a handsome fireplace, offering the perfect backdrop for slow mornings or lively evenings with friends. Just beyond, the kitchen impresses with crisp cabinetry, quartz countertops, a tasteful tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances that make everyday cooking feel effortless. The primary retreat delivers a restful escape, complete with a private ensuite bath dressed in modern finishes and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a work-from-home setup, sharing a beautifully appointed full bath. Recessed lighting, contemporary fixtures, and central air and heat carry a polished, move-in-ready feel throughout. Step outside to a generous backyard with views of the canyons, ready for weekend barbecues, gardening ambitions, or quiet evenings under the stars. Location seals the appeal. You're moments from The Shops at Mission Viejo, Pavilions grocery, and the green expanses of Cox Sports Park. Commuters appreciate the nearby Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo train station, while families value proximity to Mission Viejo High School and includes full access to Lake Mission Viejo, enjoy swimming, BBQs, summer concerts, and a variety of family-friendly activities all year round! Blending timeless charm with modern updates in one of Orange County's most beloved communities, this is a place ready to welcome you home.
