Situated on a lovely, quiet street that borders a wooded, natural preserve; the start of a walking/biking trail is at the end of the cul de sac. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, this "Hacienda" styled home had a large second floor addition in 2003. The lower level has lovely Saltillo like Italian tiles throughout the social/living areas. A master bedroom with ensuite bath on the lower level is currently being used as an office and could be a great "media/theatre/game room" for large families and entertaining. On the same level is a second bedroom with walk-in closet and stairwell storage, and a 3/4 guest bath adjacent in the hallway. There is a vast amount of storage throughout. A bright and functional kitchen showcases solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large serving peninsula, as well as an adjacent breakfast area AND formal dining off the living room! The upstairs features a second master suite with beautiful bath and walk-in closet. Full of light, the room leads to a "hacienda" balcony the full length of the second story and becomes magical in the evenings with globe lights, baskets of geraniums, and twinkling views of the cityscape. Privacy abounds with a large rear yard and charming front courtyard for sunset cocktails and Al Fresco dining. The only HOA is affordable membership in the fabulous Lake Mission Viejo with all it's amenities.
