8 San Ricardo, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688

Tucked away at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, this property is grounded by the surrounding landscaping and its distant hillside views. The home sits elevated and is perched out over the Saddleback Mountain Range. It uses verticality to optimize the views outward and increase opportunities to bring natural light deeper into the interior. Complemented by its California Spanish exterior, the property's curb appeal stays away from trends and sticks to a timeless and classic design to the region. Inside, this functional layout is comprised of three bedrooms and two and half baths, along with a collection of formal and informal areas for dining, relaxation, and entertaining. The kitchen is a pivotal setting for entertaining, with its eat-in breakfast bar and open access to both living and dining areas, its location and flow act as the center of the home. With the Californian climate being so conducive to being outdoors, reinforcing an inside-outside connection was crucial for the owners. Outside is where they spent many of their evenings. Whether it was entertaining friends and family or simply relaxing while enjoying the expansive views, the backyard plays a much larger role for this property than in a typical home. On the second floor, the primary suite takes full advantage of the views below. It features a sizable walk-in closet, an updated en-suite, and a fully permitted extension that acts as the owner's personal office. Enjoy the solitude of this idyllic property while being just moments away from the vibrant life and all the unprecedented amenities that this community has to offer.
